OKay so i know my drive is readyboost capable. it works on my main pc, but i want to use it on a slower laptop/tablet, and the readyboost option just isnt there for any drives on this machine, even tho the option is there on other computers running the same build. They are both running on Windows 10 Pro PC is Version 1909, and OS build 18363.959, and the tablet/laptop is Version 1903, and OS build 18362.959

    Jason - Run Crucial to see what it says. If it has a solution for soldered RAM it will likely provide it.

    Hi Jason. I'm Greg, an installation specialist, 10 years awarded Windows MVP, and Volunteer Moderator, here to help you.

    See whether, when and how to enable ReadyBoost in Windows 10:

    But ReadyBoost is not nearly as beneficial as adding actual RAM.

    Run Crucial System Scanner to check the RAM specs and configuration, what upgrade options exist for first quality RAM: https://www.crucial.com/usa/en/systemscanner?cm.... THis is the top authority on your device's ability to Upgrade RAM and get the precise match.

    I hope this helps. Feel free to ask back any questions and keep me posted. If you'll wait to rate whether my post resolved your problem, I will keep working with you until it's resolved.
