How to increase swap memory in Windows? [duplicate]

Windows 8 and earlier

Taken directly from the documentation, which is the first Google result for "windows change swap space":

1. Open System by clicking the Start button, right-clicking Computer, and then clicking Properties.

2. In the left pane, click Advanced system settings. Administrator permission required If you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

3. On the Advanced tab, under Performance, click Settings.

4. Click the Advanced tab, and then, under Virtual memory, click Change.

5. Clear the Automatically manage paging file size for all drives check box.

6. Under Drive [Volume Label], click the drive that contains the paging file you want to change.

7. Click Custom size, type a new size in megabytes in the Initial size (MB) or Maximum size (MB) box, click Set, and then click OK.

Windows 10

It's the same procedure, just a slightly different path to the settings dialog:

1. Click the Start button and type "Computer" or "This PC", then right-click "This PC" in the search results, and click Properties.
2. Resume at step 2 above.

Alternatively:

1. Click the Start button and type "Advanced system settings", then click "View advanced system settings" in the search results.
2. Resume at step 3 above.

Or from the command line or by typing in the start menu:

1. Run SystemPropertiesAdvanced.exe (there's others, btw).
2. Resume at step 3 above.

This all applies to Windows 7, 8, 10, and all earlier versions back to at least XP. Aside from possibly having to type the word "Computer" first, the procedure hasn't changed in just shy of two decades.

First of all, newer versions of Windows use mainly page file not swap file.

To check your current pagefile:

Win+R (Run...) -> sysdm.cpl -> Advanced -> performance -> settings -> Advanced -> Change -> custom size -> set

Its true, the process of all Windows when it comes to changing the virtual or paging file remains almost the same. You need to access your computer, control panel and follow procedures as shown in this way
