| 1398459 | 2015-04-13 02:32:00 | pagefile.sys is the swap file, it's always been there but if you had your view set to hide system files it'd be invisible. You can move it to another drive without any noticeable performance issues to free up more space. Right click my computer, click properties, advanced, look for the button that mentions virtual memory, click it, set the C: drive to have no paging file and set another drive to have a system managed one (or set a size manually if you prefer) and reboot your computer. Sorry if that's a bit vague, going entirely by memory at the moment as I don't have access to a windows 7 machine. |

I am presented with no options to change the location for this file :( Properties tells me that there have been no previous versions of this file. |
