Do I really need Pagefile?

[TheNamelessOne]

My question is do I really need the Windows pagefile if I have enough RAM?

I have 32GB of RAM, I don't really plan on using any programs that will hammer it so I don't really think I will ever reach those 32GBs. I bought the kit because it was cheap and because I wanted to not worry about RAM in the future.

Is it safe to disable the Windows Pagefile feature? Or due to how Windows works it's necessary to leave it on?

And if it's necessary to leave it on, is it better for me to pick a size to use like let's say 8GB just in case on the SSD, or is it better to let Windows automatically pick its size?

Here's a better answer than I could give you: https://superuser.com/a/502380

TL;DR you don't need it, strictly speaking, but it is advisable to have it for performance reasons.
