Oh lovely. And there's this gem:

"Switching between S3 and Modern Standby cannot be done by changing a 
setting in the BIOS. Switching the power model is not supported in 
Windows without a complete OS re-install."

Is there any reasonably straightforward way for to find out whether 
one has S3 or Modern Standby? I think so, from this article:

> https://www.windowscentral.com/how-determine-power-sleep-states-supported-windows-10

My TL;DR take: in an admin command prompt, paste this command:

powercfg /availablesleepstates

Modern Standby = "S0 lower-power idle", according to the article, and 
I'm glad to see I don't have it.

This next article gives clear and detailed descriptions of the 
various sleep states. That helps in interpreting the output of the 
above powercfg command:

Here's that article's explanation of Hybrid Sleep (which powercfg 
says I have):

"Hybrid sleep, used on desktops, is where a system uses a hibernation 
file with S1-S3. The hibernation file saves the system state in case 
the system loses power while in sleep."
