In theory, seen in many places on t'net, Windows won't come out of
hibernation (be that real hibernation or hybrid hibernation) only
sleep.

Yes it's nice hibernation works as intended on this board, shame
sleep dosen't work as well as it should... though hibernation is
pretty quick with an SSD anyway so it's not really an issue.

What's the difference between hibernation and sleep ?

OK, ta.

On our Macs here, there's essentially no difference between power-off
and hibernation, but functionally it's the same as what Win provides.


On win 7+ there is also hybrid sleep..

it makes a hibernation file but just sleeps to allow a fast restart but
doesn't lose anything if the power goes.
