The main window lists mounted volumes with drive letter, size, usage and compression state, and shows overall memory use along the bottom.

Main window: two mounted volumes with size, usage and compression

To create a volume, use the add button on the toolbar or Volume → Add in the main menu. Set at least a size and drive letter; the full option set is covered in Adding a volume. The volume mounts immediately and appears as a local drive.

A RAM FS volume appears in This PC like any physical drive

The volume now behaves as any other drive. Contents are cleared on dismount or shutdown unless saved to an image. A typical first task is redirecting temporary files to it, see Temporary files.
