hybrid sleep on desktop missing

My wife recently 'took advantage' of Microsoft's offer of free Windows 10 and upgraded her Windows 7 desktop machine. She did an in place upgrade rather than a wipe and install. Although it took the expected bit of time all went well, but we notice that
the option to invoke hybrid sleep which was present previously is now missing. What is interesting to us is that our new laptop which came with Windows 10 pre-installed has it. We have search the Internet for an answer, but have come up with essentially nothing

Can anybody explain why and how to get it back.

sleep versus hibernate versus hybrid sleep

I suggest you go to the Asus support site and get another copy of the display driver then install it.
While you're there, check for any Bios updates.

You can turn on hybrid sleep in Power options, <current power plan>, Change advanced settings.
Hybrid sleep - The Old New Thing
- There is no display of its name. It is either on or it is off. If it is on then telling your computer to sleep makes it go into hybrid sleep.
- I don't suggest altering as important a setting as this until you have resolved your current issue.

This extract from Win7 Help is the clearest explanation I have seen
