Windows 10 best practices still include alternate page file locations?
Back in the heady days of tweaking Windows 7 installed on an SSD, there were a number of recommendations to get best/fastest/goodest functionality. One moved user profiles, temp dirs, (just about anything where data was read/written and rewritten) off the SSD to an HDD. Now, being forced to use Win10pro, I'm trying to figure out how much of this is still considered a good idea. It is a 1TB SSD and it has most of it's space available now that I moved the profiles; My temp files, for whatever reason are still pretty much where they were before the transition. But I'm unclear on one issue: creating multiple page file locations.
In my Win7 setup, I had the minimum required pagefile set up on the SSD and then had two small partitions on HDDs with large pagefiles filling them (as I recall, it was all based on a calculation of available RAM and some other voodoo I no longer remember). And, for the most part, I had a pretty nice setup for office work and gaming and a bit of creative work (although most of that was done on my DAW).
Sorry - should not have posted this. I dug around more and found the answer to my question. If I knew how to delete this message, I would.
What is the current recommendation for page file setups for a 16GB RAM system?
