It could be a silly question but if I install MATLAB in D drive, does it still use RAM? I ask this because I have large data, single image read gives out of memory error. So if I install MATLAB in D drive, will it use memory in D? Thank you!

The installation location will have no impact on memory use. You can try increasing your virtual memory (pagefile in Windows) so that the OS thinks it has a ton of RAM that is actually on hard disk. Beware that when the OS hits virtual memory, it is limited to disk transfer speeds ( extremely slow compared to RAM access speeds).
