You can relocate the page file and temp folders to a larger 256 GB SSD, but the 128 GB is reserved specifically for Windows 11. The 256 GB can accommodate both the OS and temporary files like page files and temp directories. Just ensure you configure the correct partitions and partitions settings on your secondary drive.
The TEMP and TMP environment settings in System Settings let you modify the temp folder. Some applications may still require temporary file operations on C, even after changes. You can adjust the page file location through the page file settings (Windows 10 / Windows 11). Based on my experience, the biggest factor consuming your C drive is often Windows updates.

If this connects to your previous discussion, remember that the M.2 drive performs better. Placing the pagefile on the slower SATA SSD might cause a difference. With ample RAM, that issue could be avoided. Just try the 128GB version and observe. You can adjust settings later if needed. My first SSD was 64GB; with just W7, browsers, office, etc., it ran at half capacity. Even today’s software demands more, so 128GB should work well for light users.
