Jesus Christ. All these requirements for something most people didn't ask for:

System requirements for Recall

Your PC needs the following minimum system requirements for Recall:

A Copilot+ PC

16 GB RAM

8 logical processors

256 GB storage capacity

    To enable Recall, you’ll need at least 50 GB of storage space free

    Saving screenshots automatically pauses once the device has less than 25 GB of storage space

Sounds like the way around this is to make swap space take up the drive up to 24 GB. Then trim the swap space as you need it.

I know it says "to enable" but let's be real here. It's going to be a placebo switch.

I'm pretty sure Windows doesn't have fixed-size swap. It uses pagefiles.

Edit: apparently pagefiles can be given a static size as well.

This can be specified manually to be static

Oh, neat! I had no idea. Still, the term "swap" would be incorrect.

A “swap” file is for holding pages of memory that have been swapped from RAM to disk.
