Windows 10: A swap file question

Hello
from my research and past experience, I have been led to believe that
1-the swop file should be 1.5 x RAM
2-It should not be on multiple drives
3-C drive swap file holds crash dump files, so not sure if that should have a swap file as well as another HDD

however now I see MS suggest a max of 3x RAM and another site suggested creating a separate partition just for the swap file, to this end I have created a swap file partition of 32 GB ( set min & max to 32GB to prevent fragmentation or does this matter in this instance ? )

I am certain from what I read that this has been discussed very often, but with conflicting info, would like a definitive answer, also can performance suffer if the swap file is too big ?

this is For a 64 BIT PC.....it’s getting a bit old now, was looking at how to improve performance, as the CPU often maxes at 100% when doing video conversions, during which time even slows down file copying .

Page and Swap File?


I've set the Page File for my C: drive to No Page File and my D: to System Managed.
Doing this places the Page File on my D: drive,
which is the faster of the 2 drives.




The question is,
should I still have a Swap File on my C: drive and also one on my D: drive?

Here's a screenshot of the C: drive.
Notice the Swap File and no Page File.




Here's a screenshot of the D: drive.
Make note of the Page File and also the Swap File.




I was under the impression,
that if I disable the Page Files on a specific drive,
that both Page and Swap Files shouldn't be present on this drive?
Is it normal to have 2 Swap Files of the same size on different drives?
