Windows 10: Readyboost not showing on a 2021 laptop. 32 GB USB

Hi,I have been having a lot of trouble trying to find out why Readyboost wont appear on my USB Harddrive properties. I tried it on another machine, and it worked, but for some reason, it wont work with my laptop. Please advise!

ReadyBoost is Disabled

Hey guys. I have a small Windows Tablet running Windows 10 Home. The specs are listed below

Intel Atom Z3735G 1.33GHz

1GB of RAM

16GB eMMc storage

Intergraded Intel HD Graphics

Now my problem. I am attempting to use a 32 GB SanDisk USB 3.0 as a Readyboost Drive. I planned on using at least 2-3 GB of that drive. But when I go to the Properties of the drive, I do not see the ReadyBoost tab. What's going on? I checked the Services
and SuperFetch is running, and when typing into Command Prompt "sc query rdyboost" I am told it is running. What do I do to get ReadyBoost working?

 

Readyboost

ReadyBoost is a form of cache. A fundamental principle of any kind of cache is that it must be faster than the media being cached. A conventional drive, no matter how large, does not meet this requirement. A flash drive usually has slower transfer rate but has a much better seek time and thus it does qualify.

However, with 32 GB RAM you have more than plenty of RAM for caching purposes and ReadyBoost would impair performance if it were used. ReadyBoost is primarily useful with limited RAM, 2 GB or less.

Having 32 GB RAM in a system without an SSD is a waste. An SSD will do more for performance than anything else you could do. In most cases 8 GB RAM with an SSD would perform better.

I'm also thinking of trying El Pusher's suggestion in Post #17, but it's a bit scary, to say the least.
