It should match your RAM size by default

Windows 7 will match your RAM

Windows 8 will closely match your RAM or match it depending on how much RAM you have

Windows 10 will be smaller or the same size as your RAM depending on much you have.

Windows should manage the file size of your pagefile. Don't touch it, and you should never disable it (unless you enjoy problems)

Really small on your OS drive if its SSD (256-512Mt). Like @GoodBytes said on you HDD or bigger drive.

Depends on your OS. Like I said, it is best to leave to what Windows scanned and decided to be the best.

With 16 gb ram If the page file will be on HDD you just can remove it... If you decide to put it on SSD- something around 4-6gb page file is more than enough...

The reason I have small reserve on SSD is because I've had event where OS didn't detect my HDD. This lead to general lag and all things starting with Windows malfunctioning. Restarting it was pain.
