How to solve a slow hibernation resumption after moving to a faster drive (SATA to NVME)

hibernatenvmewindows 7

Context

I have a Windows 7 machine with:

  • 32GB ram
  • a 6700k processor
  • an MSI Z170A Gaming Pro Carbon motherboard
  • 1TB Samsung 850 SSD
  • 2TB NVME 970 Evo plus (newly installed)

After installing the new 2TB NVME drive, I installed the correct Samsung driver and cloned the 1TB SSD 1-to-1 on it.

Now everything works as expected, except for resuming from hibernation:

When I resume from hibernation it takes about 15-40 minutes.
With the previous 1TB SSD it was maybe 1-2 minutes.

Question

How can I solve this slow hibernation resumption?

What I've looked into

There is a similar question here: Windows 7 extremely slow resume from hibernation

Unfortunately as a new user I cannot comment on that post or its answers to ask for clarification.

I have Googled for many hours, but found nothing helpful.

Best Answer

This worked for me: set hiberfil.sys file from basic setting 75% to 100%; start CMD and: "powercfg -H -size 100%" Enter. I think the driverbug for decompressing the files is the solution.
