Virtual Memory

[nerd by night]

Can anybody help me and recommend the best way to set up my virtual memory. I just got a new SSD and would like to free up some more space on it. I'm running 12 GB of RAM if this helps.

You mean you will share that 12gb of ram with your SSD?

move the swap file to the hard drive.

I have done all these already but thanks. I'm just not sure how to configure the settings for it to work right.

Do I set No paging file on the C drive then set my HDD as the System Managed. Or just set the the HDD with the custom size and it will do it automatically, and what size do I set it at to be safe that nothing crashes?

Disable Hibernation, and Disable the Pagefile completely.
I have 12GB of RAM and have done both of these freeing up a LOT of SSD space, with 12GB of RAM the pagefile is not needed.

And nobody uses hibernate, sleep mode is where it's at

Disabling the page file on super fast SSD and moving it to the slow HDD is not smart.

That's why you have SSD, to speed up things.
