    Hi, pham. I'm Robinson, and I’m happy to help you today.

    You can change the size of the virtual memory in the advanced system settings.

    1-Click on Start, search for the "Advanced system settings" and click on that

    2-The System Properties windows will open

    3-Click on the Advanced tab then click on "Settings..." under Performace

    4-The Performace Options window will open

    5-Click on the Advanced tab then click on "Change..."

    6-Uncheck the option "Automatically manage paging file size for all drives"

    7-Then select "Custom size" and set the initial and maximum amount of ram

    Note: Changing the virtual memory size could make you face a problem when you try to run apps that require a large amount of ram.

    Before you change the size of the virtual memory, you can try to delete old Windows Updates files.

    1-Click on Start, search for "Disk Cleanup" and click on that

    2-Select all options that you want to delete under "Files to delete" and click on ok

    3-Open the Disk Cleanup again and click on the "Clean up system files" button

    4-Select all options that you want to delete under "Files to delete" and click on ok

    Or you can use the Store Sense

    1-Click on Start then click on Settings

    2-Click on Settings then click on Storage

    3-Click on "Cleanup recommendations"

    4-Select the "Temporary Windows installation files" then click on Clean up

    You should not change the size of your virtual memory. Windows performs best when you let Windows manage its virtual memory.

    If you're that short on storage space, you need a bigger hard drive.

    Hi! Good day , Jerry here, an independent advisor. Here to help you.

    Base on the information that you have provided, you don't have enough disk space for downloading the game. You would need to free up some space by deleting unnecessary file or uninstall less important application or programs that you are not using. Or other option that you can do is to upgrade your device by adding additional storage if that will be possible on your device.

    If you have any additional questions please don't hesitate. Thanks
