I was playing around one night on the computer with some large video files and things were taking a bit of time. Being large and working off a mechanical HDD, I remembered back to the days when you could use the old DOS RAMDrive.sys to create a RAM drive using system memory.
This led me to search the interwebs for a tool that would allow this in windows 10. That’s when I found ImDisk ToolKit. ImDisk Tool kit, loads a driver that lets you create a RAM drive.
I wont go into specifics because I think once you run the app to create a ram drive, it will be fairly self explanitory.
This tool will let you mount image files of hard drive, cd-rom or floppy, and create one or several ramdisks with various parameters.
This all-in-one package includes the ImDisk Virtual Disk Driver (2.0.9), the DiscUtils library that extends the number of supported image file formats, and adds several GUIs and features.
64-bit:

32-bit:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/imdisk-toolkit/files/20170706/ImDiskTk.exe
Requirements:
Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1 or 10 (32 or 64-bit).
Some image file formats also require .NET Framework 4 (included in Windows 8 and later) to be mounted with the DiscUtils library.
Features
- Ramdisk with optional dynamic memory management
- Image file mounting, many formats supported
