The swap file settings are still under ControlPanel > System, apparently, and set very much like in earlier versions, if you want other than system-managed settings.

Here are details for setting the size, if you need them (I'm not including these at this point, as you probably don't need the detail):

Win+X brings up the Power User menu; you can get it several other ways, including right-clicking on the Start button (I wonder why they still call it that?) or the bottom-left corner of the screen, depending on whether you have 8 or 8.1
