Sleep ot Hybernate ?

[Sea Rider]

If you don't want to shut down any Notebook or Desk PC permanently as will be using them say some hours latter. Which modality is best to use : Sleep or Hibernate ? What's the tech difference between those 2 if any ?

Good to know.

As both HP Notebook and Dell LapTop are used with removed batteries, runs solely on their respective chargers while sitting over a cooling tray the hibernation choice will be much better as the fans of the cooling tray will be OFF compared to On state if choosing Sleep.

Thanks,

In Windows 10, I go to "Power and Sleep". You can pick you own settings for screen-off and sleep. I go with "Never" on sleep. I understand you don't want you fans running. I keep two browser windows (FB and this site) and mail open and minimized over night. I never keep a web site up that continually scripts and refreshes those PIA ads. If the fan runs, it's so slow I don't notice.

Our W10 machines don't have a hibernate option. At least none that I've found.

Most of the new laptops are full solid state so no fans or moving parts like hard drives

My Win7 Dell Inspiron weights maybe 4 times what the Admiral's Win10 Asus

My Dell laptop is solid state and the fans do run. Son of a gun gets hot too.... really didn't need the laptop for home (a chrome book or tablet would be fine for surfing the web). I would put the desktop to sleep... for the laptop just close the lid.

You have to enable it. The screens in the current build look a little different but the concept is the same.

Thanks NYBo . Easy as 1,2,3. Forums are great. What I can't figure out is why the little smoothie drinking, skateboard scooting propeller heads as MS and Google think they know more about what a user wants, than the actual user does. Solutions shouldn't be so obscure.

Tried closing the screen lid, cooling tray and external WIFI antena remained ON on a Dell LapTop and HP Notebook with Win 7 running their latest versions. Hibernate works fine for me..
