Quick Page-File Question

Turning off Page-File will lead to more RAM usage right? As some of the data is not being saved in the page-file on the OS drive?

PC: Ryzen 5 2600 // 16 GB Corsair 3200 // MSI RX 580 8 GB // 500 GB WD Blue M.2 (sata) // Silverstone Raven RVZ03B // Fedora 33

LAPTOP: i7 5700HQ // 16 GB Kingston 1866 // GTX 970M // 250 GB Samsung 850 EVO M.2 // 1 TB HDD // Windows 10

ETC: (2) Dell U2515H (2560x1440) // Corsair K63 // Logitech G603 // FiiO E10 // Beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO (250 ohm) // Audio Technica ATH-M60x

Well, that's what I get for commenting before actually reading the original post...

 

Yeah, basically it will.

Thank you, that's what I figured as items aren't being send to the page-file partition. I just thought I'd ask since I was looking at my RAM usage. It's not a problem because I have 16GB RAM, or else I'd just shrink. On that note: with =16GB or greater do you turn it off or just shrink to 512MB or 1024?
