    Open elevated command prompt. Type powercfg -h on. After that, hibernate option should appear in the list of shutdown commands.

    The command that Garlic gave you should work. Are you sure the command was executed. Best is to copy/paste the command into the cmd window. Cmd is very iffy if you forget a blank.

    Please elaborate what didn't work ?
    such as..... what did the cmd window say when you type in powercfg -h on and press Enter ?
    did you notice there is a space between " powercfg "and " - ", and between " h " and " on " ?
    Try copy/paste the command line into the cmd window, instead of typing manually.

    I did copy and paste. I pasted and pressed enter, nothing happens.
    Am i suppose to restart to see it? Or should it happen right away?

    It should happen right away. Try this, run powercfg -h off followed by powercfg -h on. See what happens.

    i think you have an extra space in the on one.
    I did that too. I look to the little shut down menu and still no hibernate.

    Turn off "hybrid sleep" in your "advanced power settings". That should enable hibernation.
