High virtual memory usage after reinstall

My system is Ideapad Gaming 3 16IAH7 with 16 GB RAM.

After a clean reinstall, my virtual memory usage has been higher by at least 10-20% despite not only having the same amount of processes but even a little fewer. The reason for my clean reinstall was due to the poor and inconsistent performance, something which seems to be no longer the case. I wish to know if the reason for higher virtual memory usage is the cost of performance being better now.

    Yes, they are the same thing, they perform the exact same process.

    Okay, thanks for the clarification! Oh and BTW which one is more recommended, that you download the updates, drivers, etc. Or not right now? I know the former is usually recommended outright yet I have seen few stating that the latter is more recommended instead.

    Please provide more information on that, do you mean to download those before or after the in-place repair?

    It is best to select 'Not Right Now' on that window.
