    Swapfile

    Moving the swapfile to a different drive is o-l-d advice. Technology has come a long way since then. No reason for it now.

    There will always be a paging file on C: because that's where application software expects it to be.

    Swapfile seems rather large

    My PC is running Win 10 Pro 64 bit, 4GB RAM (upgraded from Win 7 Pro)

    At times task manager shows my disk usage is running at 100%

    My swapfile is currently 6322 MB, with the recommended figure 1394 MB

    This seems a remarkably large swapfile and is considerably bigger than the recommended value. Is this normal? Is it anything to be concerned about?

    Swapfile

    I have moved my swapfile and pagefile from drive c to drive d, with the the link etc and it shows everything is in the right

    positions but the only thing is it still uses drive c for its paging not drive d. It shows the files on drive d ok and nothing on c except the link.

    Can you please explain why.

    Regards

    Ronald
