Windows 10: Question about "Virtual Memory"

I have two drives. C is an SSD and D is an HDD. If I manually set the "Virtual Memory" to page file on C only, and I ran a RAM intensive program installed on D, would the program make use of the virtual memory that I allocated on C?

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?
