Moving hiberfil.sys

[Martin Schmid]

Is there any way to move the hiberfil.sys to a partition other than the boot

Hi Carey,

Actually, it must remain on the boot partition, regardless of where the

No. If you hibernate it is required to be instantly accessible at boot,
before the system has loaded at all. If you do not hibernate, uncheck
the box in Power Options - Hibernate, and the file will go
