In Windows you can assign extra space from your hard drive or SSD to act like virtual RAM. Although it’s slower than regular RAM, it might help improve performance while you’re playing Warzone on an 8GB DDR3 system. It could serve as a short-term fix until you upgrade your memory.

Windows handles this independently through its page file feature. When RAM reaches near 98%, the system begins saving data to the page file. If space becomes limited, Windows will expand storage for active processes. This process continues until the SSD is full. If Warzone resides on your SSD, performance may drop significantly, but it's likely Windows will shift unused applications there first before moving Warzone itself.

Could customizing the allocation provide additional room?

You don't have the ability to dictate how the pagefile is used. Programs are built to either use it or not. Adding extra space might help only if you're already heavily relying on it, which usually matches your actual physical RAM size.
