When I wrote that originally, I followed it with:
# mount | grep eblk
/dev/sda6 on /win/C type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,user_id=0,group_id=0,default_permissions,allow_other,blksize=4096)

-rw-rw-rw- 1 268435456 Aug 5 03:52 swapfile.sys
...
Do note that mount reports rw.

I booted W10 minutes ago, without noticing anything unusual. Then I restarted
into Jessie to find those three files with new timestamps at previous sizes.
Next I deleted the two larger, following that up by disconnecting the ethernet
cable and booting W10 again, again without noticing anything unusual, not that
I'd notice what would be "unusual" about running W10. About the only things I've
done with W10 is allow it to update, and open Edge to see what it looks like.

I went to that site, then did as it suggested, opened an administrator command
prompt and ran powercfg /h off. Following that with "dir /ah \", hiberfil.sys
is not listed. Its absence seems confirmed by restarting into Jessie. While in
Jessie, I touched linuxWroteThis while in /win/C, wrote 7 ASCII characters into
it, then restarted into Windows, and opened it with Wordpad. Then I selected
all 7, copied, and pasted, all with mouse. Enough time on Windows for this
month; restarted into Jessie, then shutdown.
