How to Enable ReadyBoost in Windows

How to Enable ReadyBoost in Windows – If your old device is still using a traditional spinning platter hard drive, you can enable ReadyBoost to improve the performance of your computer.

ReadyBoost is a feature that has been around for a long time. It uses removable drives (such as flash drives or SD cards) to cache files and improve overall performance without adding more memory.

  • Open File Explorer.
  • Click on “This PC” from the left pane.
  • Under the “Devices and drives” section, right-click the USB flash drive, and select the Properties options.
