So I'm just asking if I upgrade my DDR3 4GB RAM to 8GB RAM, will it minimize my disk usage?

Because when I play games like Fornite the disk usage usually go to 50%-90%

So does upgrading my ram makes windows 10 boot faster and minimize disk usage?

answers will be appreciated

I would disagree with this. 4GB will cause Windows to have to use the pagefile frequently. That is disk usage. Having 8GB will lessen the need to use the pagefile. It won't eliminate it, but will minimize it. You could minimize it more by creating a fixed size pagefile of 8192MB or greater FIXED size. That will preallocate the page file. It won't be growing and shrinking. That could fragment the page file.

It may boot a little faster. But to really improve that you need to swap your OS onto a solid state disk.

I have many disk usage problems and it even goes around 0%-60% when no apps/games are running so my question is, does upgrading ram fix the disk usage? or should i upgrade my hdd?
