Is it possible to create a ram disk boot drive?

Not 100% on this, but if you have enough ram to fit all of windows 10 onto your ram, there might be an issue here

Your talking about over 40 gb's of storage, maybe over 60.

No ram disk only exist when the pc is up and running for the session. it will delete it when it turns off

I've seen ram booting but usually only on 128gb ram systems.

No, you cant really partition ram to make a drive, if you could your os would be on a HDD. Cant load it on to ram because you would need to turn off a system to reinstall your os. Witch deletes info on ram. If you somehow did you could never shut the PC off again. And no you can't move the data to a server Everytime the PC shuts down. Even if you could you are still exposed to power shortages and outages that will wipe the ram clean before it transfers. You can not truly use ram.

Now creating ram disks is easy pz. Just boot drives is more trouble than it is worth. With how fast the newest pcl-e drives are no need to.

Ramdisk used to be a fun tool, had to be set in config.Sys but was limited on size... Was a great place to drop downloads you didn't want to stay around... internet cache that truly cleared itself after a reboot... but haven't ran a ramdrive since win 3.11
