Hi,
Yes, you have to set the virtual memory as custom size or system managed size in windows for better perfomance .

Thanks for replying but can you clarify.
so by me giving it a custom size of 1.5gb in windows it has a positive effect on the VM?
Hi,
No, it will not effect VM

Please consider to provide points if this helps you
It depends. Just giving a Windows machine a large pagefile is not a suitable substitute for real memory.
The best explanation I have seen for virtual memory sizing in Windows can be found here at Russinovich's blog.
Good Luck!
Set virtual memory just like on a physical box. If you have a 😧 drive move your page there and use 1.5 -2.0 x physical memory. The only difference is your 😧 is a VMDK instead of physical drive.
