    Turn off hibernation if you haven't done it already , so you get that space on C:\ back and let the system manage the Page file , 800 mb is not enough unless you also have 800mb on D:\ and 800mb on E :\ ?

    Move the location of your Libraries (Pics,Movies,Documents,Music) to D:\ or E;\ this works fine on low space OS Drives ie small SSD or eMMC Drives.

    Maybe I missed it ?...... we are talking 64bit win10 correct ? if not then 4GB RAM is max supported, so the above ideas are your limited options as 32bit won't see extra Ram even if you buy and install it, you can upgrade to 64bit though...but that means a clean install AFAIK.

    Whats the maximum RAM support for Windows 10 Home Edition and - Microsoft Community

    My system says that 1404 MB is recommended for my C drive, so I set 1404-1404 custom size in my C drive, and yes, I moved all my videos and audio files to D drive and I succeed to free up to 1 GB space. Now I have less than 2 GB available in C. With 1404 MB allocated for page files, only 600 MB is freed now in my C drive

    That's a pity since it will give you more room on C:\ ...... as I said and F14 is trying too .... ie: turn off the hibernation ...if on.... it's worth 2-3GB.

    Yes , that's how I do it too , the Hiberfil file disappears while you watch if file Explorer is open....

    it's actually Option1 in Brink's tutorial above.
