I'm having trouble doing this. I've moved paagefile.sys away from C to another drive and adjusted its size because it's now on an SSD. Now I'm trying to move swapfile.sys off the C; drive too, using the mklink command in an elevated command prompt window. Computer says 'No; swapfile .sys already in use'. Yes, of course it is. I even see other articles stating that swapfile.sys cannot be move in this way in Win10, so why does Microsoft support articles say it can be moved? The authors of some other articles seem to think that pagefile.sys and swapfile.sys are the same thing. How can I move swapfile.sys off the C: drive?
