No, you cannot upgrade a PC while it is in hibernation mode.

Hello! Your system is using Windows 10 Pro 64-bit in hibernation. You can still install Intel Octane memory or other hardware upgrades while in hibernation, but you’ll need to restart the PC after applying the changes. Shutting it down isn’t strictly necessary, though proper shutdown procedures help ensure a clean installation.

It actually saves all data into RAM on the HDD before shutting everything off. This means you should be okay. BUT it’s not worth it—there’s no real benefit and you’ll still need to restart the device. Just turn it off.

If you're upgrading or adding new parts to your computer, it's best to power it down and shut off the PSU for safety.

Hibernation functions like putting your PC to sleep but saves everything to the drive specified in your hibernation file instead of keeping it in RAM. Simply shut it down, replace the necessary components, and restart it. This method also prevents issues with Windows restarting unexpectedly when it powers up.

The real issue is understanding the reasons behind avoiding upgrades to your computer.

Avoid shutting down the entire system because upgrades aren’t possible during that time. Even if you try, the device won’t appear unless the storage is ready in BIOS.

It won’t ruin your computer. The most likely outcome is it will slow down and ask for a restart.

It could wreck a component. It still has to run power through some rails, like the 5v one. It could short to the wrong pins, connections and wires. Don't get me wrong, it's a dumb idea, don't do it.
