Increase Ubuntu VM Memory: Step-by-Step

To increase the memory of your Ubuntu virtual machine, you need to follow these steps:

1. Shut down the Ubuntu virtual machine.
2. Open virtual machine management software (such as VirtualBox, VMWare, etc.).
3. Select your Ubuntu virtual machine and enter the settings option.
4. Find the “System” or “Hardware” option in the settings and select “Processor and Memory.”
5. Increase the memory size of the virtual machine in the memory options. You can increase the memory size by dragging the slider or manually entering a value.
6. Save the settings and start the Ubuntu virtual machine after confirming the changes.
7. In an Ubuntu virtual machine, you can confirm that the memory has been successfully expanded by checking the system settings or using command line tools like “free -m”.

Before expanding memory, make sure your host system has enough available memory and that your virtual machine software supports changing memory size.
