My computer needs serious work. Today I had another incident where the computer had to increase ‘virtual memory’.

My disc shows a lot of space left but I’m thinking something is not correct. So - my computer is running slow.

‘virtual memory’ has to do with RAM, not disk memory or space. More RAM would help.

You might also try deleting files in Browsing History to speed up the machine.

I’m NOT a computer expert, know just enough to be dangerous

Good chance you have a virus. Run a virus scan and a anti-malware program. They can eat up resources and keep making your computer slower and slower until it just locks up with very little use.

Know what?

Maybe you need a wider RAM!
