Enable Hibernate in Windows 8

Introduction

 
In this article, we are explaining how to enable Hibernate in the Windows 8 power option. Hibernate is a state of the computer. In the Hibernate state, the contents of the computer's memory are saved to disk and the computer shuts down. The next time we turn on our computer it will reload the memory stored on the hard disk then continue from where it was at.
Hibernate is faster than a complete shutdown because it doesn't have to reload all the startup items.
 
Hibernate is a power-saving state and its mainly designed for laptops. In Windows 7 it's already enabled in the power options and we don't have to enable this feature but Windows 8 doesn't enable it in the power options and we have to manually enable this feature.
