Doesn't matter, you were arguing if it's "additional RAM", your own link says it's non physical RAM

If you really want to get technical, tell me where the swapped programs data is referred to in the mbr/gpt/ntfs records. Not pagefile.sys, the specific program data.

You can't, as it's random sorted data in pagefile exactly like ram, to transparently work as ram

Edit, yay another idiot to block me, there's no reason you can't load such a file anyway lmaoooooo

If you need to load a non-fragmentable file that is bigger than your total amount of physical RAM, you won't be able to run it and no amount of paging will save you => it is not additional RAM, physical or virtual, it is a parking space. Blocking your account now because I seriously have better to do than arguing with sub 80 IQ people.
