"often". sheesh. *rolls eyes*
It does not apply for Windows.
You cannot reserve or commit 4k-pages in Windows. For historical reasons, the minimum amount of memory you can reserve/commit is 64k.
This also applies to mapping 4k-pages around, meaning you can't.
64k is the rather wastefull lower limit.
Anyway, the section you are quoting makes no claim as the the permitted granularity.
