Windows 10: After changing virtual memory on my SSD, it doesnt show up at all.

I recently was told to change my virtual memory on my SSD drive to 16000MB. After doing so I restarted my pc and now my file manager and disk managment only show my HDD and my SSD has disappeared. My HDD has windows on it but EVERYTHING else is on my SSD. I cant find a solution to this and I really need it fixed!

Step 3: A new Window will open before you. Go to Advanced tab in it.

Step 4: You’ll see a Virtual memory section in it. Click on Change.

Step 5: If the current setting is considerably less than the recommended, unselect the Automatically manage paging file size for all drives box on this window and click on Custom size.

Step 6: Now enter the recommended value in the Initial Size box, and a larger figure in the Maximum size

Step 7: Click on OK to save the changes.

If you have any other questions please feel free to ask, Thank you.

Virtual Memory

This question has been answered before—but I can never really get a definitive answer. So here goes....

Currently, I have 12 GB of RAM in my machine. Windows, on its own, has made the page file the same size. From what I've read, people suggest the page file be either 1.5x-2x the amount of ram. My question... is there a sweet spot where you can disable virtual memory? Say like if you have 32 GB. Also, since paging happens quite often, it's a no-no to have the page file on an SSD, right? So, in a system with SSD and HDD, and say you still need virtual memory, it should be placed on the HDD instead?
