Enabling Hyper V in Control Panel


I want to test Windows phone 8 App in my Windows 8 system using Visual studio ultimate 2013. I checked few tutorials on net to enable Hyper V in my system. I found that below requirements are enabled in my system.

 Hyper-V Requirements: VM Monitor Mode Extensions: Yes
                       Virtualization Enabled In Firmware: Yes
                       Second Level Address Translation: Yes
                       Data Execution Prevention Available: Yes

But the problem is that I am not able to see Hyper V option in control panel under "Turn windows feature on or off ". Can someone please tell me what could be the reason for this and how can I find that option in control panel?

Below is the system Info-

    Do you have Windows 8 Pro or Enterprise 64 bit Operating System? If you don't have - probably you won't be able to run hyper V - only client version.
