Hi my name is Jonase, I think this is how I may help you, follow these steps:
1. Go to 'Control Panel'.
2. click on 'Performance and maintenance'
3. click on 'Power options', and the mini window will appear
4. Look at the tabs of that window and you will see: 'power schemes', 'advanced', 'hibernate' and 'UPS'. select 'Hibernate'.
5. you will see a checkbox written 'Enable hibernation', click it and click Apply button, by the above steps hibernation is enabled.
