Adding Virtual Memory

Now go to the advanced tab and you can find change button there just click on that make sure to choose a program on it. So why are we clicking on change let me tell you first? We want to create a virtual memory or which is also called Swap memory. We want to use that because you can run more programs without causing any interruption.
