Pagefile - Answer: Pagefile in Windows 10 is a hidden system file with the .sys extension stored on your
computer's system drive (usually C:\).
The Pagefile allows the computer to perform smoothly by reducing the workload of physical memory.
Simply put, every time you open more applications than the RAM on your PC can accommodate, the
programs already present in the RAM are automatically transferred to the Pagefile. This process is
technically called Paging.
Because the Pagefile works as a secondary RAM, it is often referred to as Virtual Memory.
