    Welcome to the forum.

    I don't see where you get the 4000 MB memory available. Total memory is clearly shown as 8113 MB.

    I don't see a problem. you have 8 GB RAM, You Page file matches the RAM at 8 GB of Which 4 GB are in use. you might get a better picture of what you have and how its being use with Hwinfo64 ,
    If your OS is on a 512 GB SSD you can turn off Page file and force the stored data on to your RAM and SSD, Be advised that if you do this and the computer crashes or freezes you could lose data. Don't attempt this with a hard drive Spinner type.

    Check here, it will give you much better picture of RAM size and usage:

    Yes the problem to me was that the page file is at 4000mb and I want to use it all. I think it would make it faster to play games.

    Page file/virtual memory is much slower than real RAM so it can't help if you have more.

    If you are concerned about memory usage you are looking in the wrong place. Of all the numbers relating to memory usage pagefile usage is one of the least important. In spite of what Microsoft user level documentation and many Internet articles might imply, the pagefile is very different from RAM and is used very differently. There are few utilities that show pagefile usage because it usually isn't very important.

    If you are concerned about memory usage you need to look at Task Manager. This shows information that is far more important. Post a screenshot of Task Manager - Performance tab showing memory info.

    You can't force Windows to use more RAM. Windows will effectively use as much memory as required, if you start running low on memory Windows will throttle back on open apps to ensure it has enough memory to operate smoothly.

    Arus, just install more RAM if you can :)

    There are multiple aspects to computer performance. These include responsiveness, how long it takes to perform a task or how well it performs that task. Once you have identified what that is you need to identify the cause of the problem. This might be (in no particular order):

    1. A shortage of memory.
    2. A slow CPU.
    3. A slow video system.
    4. A slow hard drive.
    5. A slow network connection.
    5. Others.

    It is very important to identify the cause of the problem before any upgrades are made. Very often whatever is most convenient is upgraded and that is often RAM. If this is not done correctly you can end up spending a lot of money on an upgrade that does not address the problem and have little or nothing to show for it.
