    What values should I keep in my virtual memory in Windows 10. I have 8GB of RAM.

    When I open the advanced settings it says on Windows C- I have available 43970(grayed out)

    Then below it says

    Total paging file size for all drives:

    Minimum allowed-- 16MB

    recommended-- 1897 MB

    Currently allocated---7424 MB

    Should I change them to Minimum- 12288

    And change the Max to 24576

    Not sure what exact numbers I should put in or is it good the way it is? Please advise.
