> What is this and how do i do that ? I have numerous ssd’s so can sacrifice 500gb

hi @AtAshTag @Hardcawcanary ,  
Recently with 34.00 Feature Examples [TMNT City Sample Error](https://forums.unrealengine.com/t/tmnt-city-sample-broken/2364762)

Adding a 64 GB page file for Virtual Memory fixed the problem.  
see this post

You may need to add a 64GB pagefile.sys, which I documented in  
[Install a bigger pagefile.sys](https://forums.unrealengine.com/t/cant-create-c-project-or-use-c/238169/2)

You can use any SSD drive to full size and its better if the pagefile is on a dedicated drive.

My laptop needs 32GB as it’s a home laptop with 8GB, so my 32GB pagefile just about does the job and its a lot cheaper than a top spec laptop, being an indie.  
UEFN and Fortnite used to run at 18GB in 30.00 UE5.5 and now we have UE5.6, generally its over 20GB

More recently a bigger pagefile fixed this problem

Whenever MS Edge, based on Google Chrome, is running for the editing of posts, then the memory, basically takes 10.8 GB for 8 windows Epic Community posts to take this up.
