Are you sure you have the 8.1 Update 1 (KB 2919355) installed?
Look at your Update Install History to see if you have (KB 2919355).
Your specs show you started with W7, when and how did you upgrade to W8.0 and/or 8.1? Sounds like you may still be on W8.1. For users that had upgraded to 8.1 a couple of months ago the functions you mention were not available until the W 8.1, Update 1 on 4/8/14.
