With that in mind how tiny is your VM image that it loads entirely into RAM?Let's back up several posts where that question has already been answered. And consider that what loads into memory is not the entire disk! It's the fixed allocation of space for Windows applications to use. Mine has two CPUs allocated. All I use presently is Quicken for older financial records.
Is that because I have 'only' 16GB of RAM?
I think you're finally getting it!
Yet according to Activity Monitor my Win10 execution memory footprint is still just around 2GB.
That's all MacOS has available.
But it's not as simple as you think it is.
Sure it is. MacOS uses what's available. I have plenty of memory so there is no need to short it. All 8 GB can be accessed by Win apps immediately w/o swapping in that world!
Get 32 GB and yours would do the same. LOL!
