Ram Hdd

is it possible for an OS to use 99% of our HDD if there hardly any ram to satisfy it.?

lets say in the next 5 or 6 decades we have an OS that needs 101 gb ram if we give it 1 gb ram and we have a 101 gb HDD can the OS use the rest of the 100 gb ram from the HDD because there is not enough ram to satisfy it thanks 10 points for best answer.

No.

RAM (random access memory) is used by a computer to store information that it needs to run programs and processes. This data is constantly changing and only lasts for the duration of the computer being switched on. When you turn it off, the information stored in RAM is lost.

Hard disk space is permanent. Anything you save onto a hard disk drive stays until you delete it (and even then, it is still there if you have the right tools to find it again). You can’t use hard disk space for memory, it is completely different.

EDIT @Sani: The original question said if an OS *required* 101GB of memory, and the PC only had 1GB of RAM, could the hard disk space be used to supplement it. In such a case, NO, the hard disk space could not. My original point stands: regardless of page files and virtual memory, if an OS requires a minimum level of physical memory, the hard disk space cannot be used in place of that. You are right that paging will occur when an OS wants more memory than its minimum level (that is why OS and software typically have “minimum” and “recommended” memory thresholds), but the minimum requirement must nevertheless be met by physical memory (RAM) to begin with.
