You talking about System Memory or Disk Space -- because these are entirely different problems with entirely different solutions.

 

It would have helped if you had provide the exact wording of one of these error messages.

The "D" drive is the Recovery Partition that was created at the factory by HP and it contains a compressed images of Windows that can be used to do a factory reset of your PC. It is SUPPOSED to be nearly full.  So, if you are getting messages about that, you need to check your default saving locations because you should NOT be trying to store anything to that drive.

 

Also, see if this helps with the low memory issue:  https://www.diskpart.com/windows-10/your-computer-is-low-on-memory-windows-10-4125.html

hello, thanks for helping, when I opened the virtual memory options , it told me recommended : 3549 mb , currently allocated  : 811 mb . do we have to enter the exact same amount mb as in the link you gave me ? I think it depends on the device's ram . when I enter a new size , do I put 3549 mb as the recommended one?

@mymodded 

With Windows, it's generally best to do what it recommends.
