Changing the paging file size, in my opinion, is only used as a last resort kind of thing and/or if you are in desperate need of more virtual memory on your computer. The drawback of adding additional virtual memory is once your computer has used all of the available "virtual space" you add, your computer will become even more bogged down or slow because there is no more space or a place for files and data to go, and it may even result in adverse effects/issues in the future.
Again, this is my personal understanding of how increasing paging file sizes can have pretty serious consequences if it hasn't been setup correctly and misused. But if this method works for you, then all I will suggest is just monitor your hardware for a while and see how you get on. If issues start to come up just revert the settings back to default and let your computer work things out automatically, which is usually the better option.
No problem, I always keep 10% free of the total disk space. That is why I expanded the system disk C at the expense of the main disk Z, in order to increase the virtual memory at the expense of the system disk C, since the virtual memory from disk Z was simply not used, although I allocated over the norm in the amount of 50 GB. But now only 30GB of the system disk is used for virtual memory and everything is working fine. Windows...
