Windows ReadyBoost - Boost your PC Performance using a storage device without adding more memory!

2. Under General Options, click Speed up my system.

This will display the Properties dialog box for your flash drive or other removable media device.

3. Click the ReadyBoost tab, and then do one of the following:
•To turn ReadyBoost off, click Do not use this device.
•To turn ReadyBoost on, click Use this device, and then move the slider to choose how much of the available space on your flash drive you want to reserve for boosting your system speed.

4. Click OK.
