Here're the exact steps:
# STEP_1 . *********** Flash drive and double click on "My
Computer ". Depending on the version of Windows you're using,
this may also called "Computer" or "This PC" on other versions.
# STEP_2 . Right-click on the Flash drive that you want to use as
RAM, from context menu click on "Properties". Once there, click
on "ReadyBoost" Tab.
NOTE: If it says it cannot be used, then click the retest button.
However, if it doesn't work try to format your Flash derive to
NTFS.
# STEP_3 . Click "Use this device" radio button and move the slider
to how much RAM you want to give to the computer. After that

NOTE: Do not remove your Flash drive when it's being used as
RAM──this may cause corrupting important system files.
However if you ever wanted to use it as a data storage device or
you just want to remove it, then right-click on that Flash drive and
click on "Eject" then wait until Windows gives you a notification
that it is safe to remove.
