Move Page File and hiberfil to another disk - Windows 10

Hi IrBlueSky

you will lose some of the benefits of having an SSD if you do that.

if you could move the hiberfil.sys, hibernation and waking from hibernate would be no quicker than it was with the hdd, however hiberfil.sys must be on the system partition.

moving the page file will reduce performance, as it is used as extra ram the faster the better.

it is unnecessary with modern SSD

if you still want to move the page

winkey+R

paste the following and press enter

SystemPropertiesAdvanced

under performance, click settings

select the advanced tab

under virtual memory

click change

select the HDD and choose system managed

select the SSD and select no paging file

click ok

restart the computer

Hibernation is meant to make things quicker at startup. Instead of reading everything off the HDD/SSD individually & starting them up, the finished product is put to a file (Hiberfil.sys). Because an SSD is lightning quick, it might be a solution to turn hibernation off. Hiberfil.sys should immediately delete & remain so (unless you turn it back on). See...

Can I Move The Hiberfil.sys (Hibernation) File In Windows 10?

You can reduce its size to 40% of RAM. But I'm unsure it will remain so.

Note: Those are 3rd-party sites that look knowledgeable to me, but I know nothing (bad or good) about any downloads or links that may be on them (or anywhere else).
