What this article shares with you is about how to increase the capacity of the hard drive in Win10. The editor thinks it is very practical, so I share it with you to learn. I hope you can get something after reading this article.

After installing Win10, many netizens complain that it takes up too much space, especially after installing some plug-ins, it is common for C disk to soar to 40-50GB.

In fact, Win10 often contains some features that are difficult for ordinary people to use, such as the following one. After disabling it, you can instantly add 10GB to your C disk.

Hibernation is a low-level function in Win10, which is used to save the running program to your hard disk and restore it to the previous working environment the next time you boot (for example, if you open the browser and game before hibernation, it will still be open after the next boot).

However, this feature consumes a lot of hard disk resources, so each hibernation is equivalent to mirroring all the data in memory to the hard disk before turning it off, not including the time it takes to restore the image from the hard drive the next time you boot (how long it will take for you to make up a few GB or more than a dozen GB of data backup).

In addition, another problem is that such a large-scale backup and recovery is also a problem for the life of the hard disk, especially for SSD users, often the loss outweighs the gain.

Have you ever used "dormancy"?

If you are not interested in dormancy recovery, or do not understand what the editor is talking about, you can turn this feature off directly.

In general, dormant files take up the size of 1x2 or 1x3 of physical memory. If your computer is equipped with 8GB or 16GB memory, it is equivalent to instantly returning blood to nearly 10GB hard disk space.

You know, this feature is given away by Microsoft for free, and even if you don't use it, it will park there and take up a lot of disk space.

Even if you don't use it, dormant files will take up a lot of disk space.

Close the steps:

1. Enter "cmd" in the Cortana search box, and right-click the "command prompt" to run as an administrator

Remember! Run as an administrator

2. Enter the command "powercfg-h off". If there is no error prompt, it means that the disable is successful.

Turn off the Windows hibernation service

3. Close the command prompt window and restart the computer

Well, compare the C disk space before and after the ban, is it a lot bigger all of a sudden!

The above is how to increase the capacity of the hard drive in Win10. The editor believes that there are some knowledge points that we may see or use in our daily work. I hope you can learn more from this article. For more details, please follow the industry information channel.
