In the meantime time, you can make reference to the screen shot below. Tips : Both the initial size and the maximum size of virtual memory can be set as 1. And if you are wondering where the information of computer memory is, you can find the answer in How to Check Computer Memory Windows 8. Super User is a question and answer site for computer enthusiasts and power users. It only takes a minute to sign up.

Windows 10 automatically manages the pagefile for your computer's configuration and the amount of RAM present in it. Typically you'll simply allow the Windows OS to dynamically manage this since in most cases that'll suffice and it'll work just fine. The minimum and maximum size of the Pagefile can be up to 1. To calculate the "general rule" recommended size of virtual memory in Windows 10 per the 8 GB your system has, here's the equation x 8 x 1.
So it sounds as if the 12 GB configured in your system currently is correct so when or if Windows needs to utilize the virtual memory, the 12 GB should suffice. As a general rule, the maximum size of the paging file must be x1. It's probably true there is no ' one size fits all ' formula for Windows 10 systems that are super fine-tuned to find the most optimal configuration per those systems.
In these cases, depending on various factors of the system and what's important for the system processes, there are many other factors to consider obviously. There are many options available to record and measure system performance metrics to help benchmark and super fine-tune this configuration if needed though.
While all this is really just a trivial matter, it'll add some complexity and time to get the most optimal configuration where this setting must be the most optimal. In most cases though using 1. There is no hard and fast rule that encompasses the ideal page file size on all systems; it's very specific to the workload your computer is exposed to.
The accepted answer here is what one would recommend to a casual user, not a power user. Budgeting for max workloads: If you expect to max out your RAM usage, then at the very least you should be budgeting enough virtual memory to cover any worst case scenarios.

I think I just fell in love. You need minimum 50Meg of Swap file for some programs to actually work properly.
You can also set Min and Max to the same value, reducing fragmentation of the swap file. The swap file ideally should be placed on another drive not another partition, just in case Even with high amounts of Ram over 3Gig you can still have a reasonable swap file say 2Gig Min and Max No one seems to have a definitive guide on what amounts to place in the Swap File, as it depends on what you run. My pagefile setup? Just a note: Putting it on a separate drive may help performance, but putting it in a separate partition on your main drive will gain you nothing — your main hard drive is still doing all the work, perhaps more because of the need to access the MBR every time… Reply.
This is for Coly Moore: I put my SwapFile in a separate partition on the same drive for three reasons: 1 so it could be FAT32 instead of NTFS, and 2 to isolate it from the rest of the filesystem, since it is of a fixed size and has no reason to interact with it, and — most relevantly of all — 3 I have exactly ONE physical drive — which makes the placement of the SwapFile partition kind of a no-brainer.
Quick and dirty method. If so, you can do them now. Dear Leo! You think if I got up to 20 gig it would run any better? Leave a reply: Before commenting please: Read the article. Comment on the article. No personal information.
