Embodiments including systems, methods, and apparatuses associated with expanding a threshold voltage window of memory cells are described herein. Specifically, in some embodiments memory cells may be configured to store data by being set to a set state or a reset state. In some embodiments, a dummy-read process may be performed on memory cells in the set state prior to a read process. In some embodiments, a modified reset algorithm may be performed on memory cells in the reset state. Other embodiments may be described or claimed.
