Yes, but SSDs are very slow compared to RAM https://www.wikihow.com/Use-Ssd-As-RAM
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hello, and thank you for your question! While it is possible to upgrade the SSD storage on this HP Envy 2-in-1 16"Wide Ultra XGA Touch-Screen Laptop, Model 9R8R9UA, yourself, we recommend that upgrades be performed by the IT professionals at your local Best Buy to avoid installation complications. While it is possible to partition a select amount of Storage Space on your SSD to use as Virtual RAM, this is not equivalent to upgrading the physical RAM by the same amount.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Windows does this automatically, faster, and better, than you could do it manually, but, as noted by HP, virtual RAM is nowhere near as fast as real RAM. incidentally, you can use external memory to do the same thing. It's called ReadyBoost and has been around since 2006.
