Why each option
Virtual memory size and the paging file are configured under the System - Advanced tab in Control Panel, which is the correct path to resolve low virtual memory alerts.
System - Remote contains Remote Desktop and Remote Assistance configuration settings, unrelated to memory management.
System - Hardware provides access to Device Manager and hardware profiles, not virtual memory settings.
System - System Restore manages restore point creation and disk space for recovery, not virtual memory.
The Advanced tab in System Properties contains a 'Performance' section with a 'Settings' button, which leads to the Virtual Memory configuration where the paging file size can be reviewed and increased. This is the direct path to diagnose and correct low virtual memory conditions in Windows.
