Alright, im currently using Windows 10 Pro x64. I have a question about Virtual memory, I was looking at mine and its set to 2432mb by default, now I have tried researching this and have to no idea how much I should use? I read 16gb I should disable it and I have read that min 1.5x and max 2x the current amount of ram I have installed. Anyone know how this works should I turn pagefile off? is memory dump a bad thing? should I set the min to 1.5x my currently installed ram and max of 2x? I know back on Windows 7 I used the 1.5x and 2x cause windows used alot more ram for some reason then it seems to now.
Memory dumps aren’t necessarily a bad thing, however the dumps start occurring mainly when the OS runs out of RAM space Which in your case shouldn’t happen that fast, but it can happen if you have a rouge app

Then the question remains, is there a certain size that works best? Should I go with the 1.5x the amount of currently installed Ram as minimum and 2x as maximum? Also is it wise to move the pagefile from the main Partition over to say a 2nd hard drive where I have more HD space?
I currently have it at 1x to max 1.5x , you can move it to the secondary drive, shouldn’t be an issue
The default values should be perfectly fine. Most times you won’t need the page file. Windows knows how to manage it.
