Windows version of Splunk installed on E: drive and Splunk reporting error: "paging file is too small"

Looks like there is not enough disk space for the window swap file.

Splunk is installed on E: hard drive which has 1.4TB free space. The C: drive only has 65GB free space.

Is this issue because the C: drive is not large enough? Is there a way to tell Splunk/Windows to use E: drive for the swap file?

Either drive is more than enough for a swap file. What action were you doing when you received this error? How much free memory do you have?
