Detailed explanation-1: -Virtual memory transfers data from RAM to disk storage, mapping memory to disk files. The virtual memory swaps unused data from RAM to a storage device like a hard drive or solid-state drive (SSD) and frees up RAM for other tasks. As a result, computers tend to consider secondary and primary memory as one.
Detailed explanation-2: -Virtual memory is stored on the hard drive and is used when the RAM is filled. Physical memory is limited to the size of the RAM chips installed in the computer. Virtual memory is limited by the size of the hard drive, so virtual memory has the capability for more storage.
Detailed explanation-3: -Virtual memory is implemented using both Demand Paging and Demand Segmentation. Demand Paging: Demand paging is a type of swapping that is done in virtual memory systems.
