Drivers that must always be certified for installation in Windows are those that are signed by Microsoft through the Windows Hardware Developer Program. This certification ensures that the drivers meet specific quality and security standards, preventing potential issues with system stability and compatibility. Unsigned or improperly signed drivers may be blocked by Windows, particularly in 64-bit versions, to protect the operating system from malicious software and unstable components.

Windows can be installed on either drive, however, so the file need not live on "C" but it will always live (without some tweaking that is not for the novice) on the root of the drive where Windows is installed. If you boot from "C", hiberfil.sys will live in "c:"
