How to Optimize your SSD Boot Drive

Change your Page File Settings

The primary purpose of your page file is to act as virtual memory. Windows

7 primarily uses it for a couple of things; first off it acts as a staging area for

information the OS thinks it might need next (think cache) and as a backup

in case you don’t have enough physical memory (DRAM). Additionally

some applications are written to utilize the page file and may refuse to work

correctly without one being present.

Here are the steps we followed in Windows 7 to change the page file set-

tings:

1. Click on the Start button then right click on “My Computer” and

choose “Properties”.

2. In the left pane, click “Advanced” then click on “Settings” under

“Performance”.
