Lightroom Classic - Tone curve "negative invert" option missing

I have the current (according to Adobe CC manager) Lightroom Classic installed on my Imac and my macbook pro. On my Imac the Tone curve panel has the essential (for me) option "Negative Invert" available - but it doesnt appear on my macbook. Where can I find it/install it?

Thanks

    Perhaps this was a custom tone curve that you had previously saved - regardless, that is something you can do now.

    Change the Tone Curve panel to "points" mode rather than parametric, with the little icon below. Starting with a Linear curve drag the (left) blackpoint from bottom to top, and the (right) whitepoint from top to bottom, so that the line now tilts the opposite way. The preset menu changes to Tone Curve: custom. Click the word Custom and Save: supply your own user preset name, for example "Invert". This user preset can then be used with any other photo.
