I'm done going in circles with you

You just told me in your previous post how simple it was that your VM image is loading completely into RAM and mine is not because I don't have enough RAM. With that in mind how tiny is your VM image that it loads entirely into RAM?

If that's your understanding then it's not complicated at all - but that's not how it works as I have already explained.

Now you weave and say....

"I give Win10 8 GB of memory and it gets all of it when booted."

Hmm, I give Windows 10 6 GB of memory yet my Windows 10 memory foot print is only 2GB. Is that because I have 'only' 16GB of RAM? ;-)

Ok then.

[Edit]: Just for grins I down configured my Win10 VM memory to 4GB of RAM (1/4 of my physical 16GB just like your 8GB is 1/4 of your 32GB physical). Yet according to Activity Monitor my Win10 execution memory footprint is still just around 2GB. By your logic mine should have went up to 4GB. I certainly have enough RAM. Me thinks something is wrong with your logic or possibly your VM configuration... or maybe you're not using Activity Monitor correctly. Maybe you have a memory leak from an App within your VM that is not releasing memory and that might be why you are pegged with a 8GB memory footprint for your Win10 VM. I dunno.

But it's not as simple as you think it is.
