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.
