    Hello,

    Thank you for posting in Q&A forum.

    You can use the Windows command Mklink to create a symbolic link pointing C:\swapfile.sys to another partition.

    Please refer to the following link for specific steps: How to move Pagefile.sys and Swapfile.sys to another drive in Windows 8/8.1 or 10 (download3k.com)

    It will show you how to move Swapfile.sys to another drive. You will need administrator rights to do this, so have your administrator credentials ready.

    I hope the information above is helpful.

    Best Regards,

    Yanhong Liu
