I bought a new laptop a couple weeks ago. I'm trying to squeeze as much as I can from this before I start making minor upgrades to it. For the most part it's perfect, even better that it was quite cheap compared to other laptops in it's class. This, however, came at a price. That price was a 5400RPM 1TB hard drive.
The 8GB of ram is plenty to keep the computer from hitting the page file very much while doing normal tasks, but I still set up Windows with a page file on an additional hard drive. This leads to my question...
Will removing the page file on the OS drive cause any complications? Can I have a page file ONLY on the additional hard drive?
To add to this topic I was given a 60GB PS3 drive, and I'm not sure if it's 5400RPM or 7200RPM. (Thanks a bunch Forge, the laptop it went in had an accident about a week after) I was planning on taking my old 64GB Corsair SSD out of my desktop and using it as the OS drive for the lappy, but I'm still unsure how much of a pain it would be to migrate Win8 from the stock HDD. The way MS sets up it's authentication is something I've not looked into very deeply yet.
