Can you please confirm that it does not exist in the location pictured above?

This is because the version of Windows 8 you have installed, to see this option you must have Windows 8 Pro/Enterprise Edition

There's anyway to install/enable IIS Windows Authentication when it's missing in "Turn Windows Features On or Off" menu?
I'm running an Win8 machine in a Local Workgroup.
