today i added some ram to my laptop, was just about to pull the smaller stick our but then remember that id hibernated not shut it down so booted back up and shutdown before changing the ram

just wondering what would of happened if id changed the ram while it was hibernating, would windows just treat it as an unexpected shutdown?

Failed to resume from Hibernation.
Restarting Windows.

From memory it just said "failed to resume from hibernation" and gave me the option to reboot

Since the filesystems are still mounted, any changes you make will cause damage when the PC is un-hibernated
