Windows 10: Windows 10 fails to utilize the second HDD for virtual memory

What do I miss? Why does it offer options that are non-existent?Hi everyone,I have recently bought a new laptop, with 16 GB of RAM and an SSD as a disc labeled "C", as usual. Later I added another disk, HDD this time, and set up my system to use the least allowed amount of C my SSD system disc for pagefile.sys and to use standard recommended space on the other disc HDD data disc for pagefile.sys.I was not able to entirely disable paging file on C, because when I did it, my PC started BSoDing every now and then and after reboot, it was warning me that temporary pagefile was created on

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?
