Reserving Memory on the Target for Trace Data

Improper changes to the BCD system store can prevent Windows* from starting. Review the commands and their results carefully before restarting Windows.

To remove (reserve) memory on the target for Intel(R) Processor Trace (Intel(R) PT) data:

Run the CLI as administrator.

Check the physical memory.

systeminfo | find "Total Physical Memory"

-> Total Physical Memory:     7,816 MB

Remove 1GB (from the currently booted OS).
```
bcdedit /set removememory 1024
```
Reboot the target.
```
shutdown /r /t 0
```
After reboot, check the physical memory to make sure it worked.

To undo the changes on the target (after finishing the debug/trace session):

systeminfo | find "Total Physical Memory"

-> Total Physical Memory: 6,824 MB

Run the CLI as administrator.

Delete the value from the configuration.

bcdedit /deletevalue removememory

-> The operation completed successfully.
