I want my 16.04 to be able to hibernate to disk, it does not give that option now. I have a HP Pavillion x360 with 4 GB RAM. What should I do? Do you think it will help to shrink the Windows partition (sda3) by one GB and make swap size all together 5 GB? Or should I do something else? (Maybe 3.91 GiB is enough already?)

If I expand swap, will I then have to make any adjustments in the system. Or will Ubuntu automatically realize the swap has been enlarged?

Since I will be shrinking Windows 10 I thought I might use Windows 10 partitioning tools, also for enlarging swap. I don't have a bootable GParted USB at hand. Does that make a difference? (The system is dual boot.)

(I am in a period when I use Linux quite much for a project and I would appreciate hibernate to be present and also that I can install it smoothly, therefore I ask this before just trying around.)

Thanks

You need to disable Secure Boot in UEFI (BIOS) settings to use hibernation in Ubuntu.

Your swap size is probably enough. You can test it by running

sudo pm-hibernate

If that works and the system wakes up correctly, then you can enable hibernation using this guide
