Hi PrashantA ,
I think whether the data source is split should have no effect.
When your RAM becomes full, Windows moves some of the data from your RAM back to your hard drive, placing it in the page file. This file is a form of virtual memory. While writing this data to your hard disk and reading it back later is much slower than using RAM, it’s back-up memory — rather than throwing potentially important data away or having programs crash, the data is stored on your hard drive.
Windows automatically manages the page file’s settings for you. However, if you want to adjust your page file settings, you can do so from the Advanced System Settings window.What Is the Windows Page File, and Should You Disable It? (howtogeek.com)
You can also download a program to display the current memory usage of Windows in the system tray.
If the problem is still not resolved, please provide detailed error information or the expected result you expect. Let me know immediately, looking forward to your reply.

Should I store the folder data on my PC Local drive (C) or One drive coz i heard that if I keep it on one drive then will have internet issue and sometimes report also crashed in between or refresh will be slower.

Hi PrashantA ,
You can try to save the files on different drives to prevent insufficient space.
