Move the page file to a mechanical drive. With a decent amount of memory

That is an interesting debate ...
I currently have page file of separate HDD to OS .... to avoid HDD RW
contention.
However the recommendation from those that know their onions say that if
you have OS on an SSD then you should put the paging file on that SSD ..

Or as an alternative put in on a USB3 flash drive ...
However they also add that if you have more than 8GB of RAM you don't need
a paging file anyway

That last depends on how you use the system. If you do
much with photoshop or leave the system on 24/7 for
months with lots of large apps open all the time, you
may still use a page file a bit.
