Can you post an image of the BIOS screen that you are seeing?

 

You should be able to enable virtualization from within the BIOS. Are you using BIOS as an administrator? 

 

I suggest that you update your BIOS to the current version. Doing that should return the ability to enable virtualization.

You should try enabling virtualization so you can use the Hyper-V features in Windows 8.

 

use MSINFO32 to see if it is enabled in the BIOS. (hint: type msinfo32 in the box of the search charm)

In the BIOS.

If it is not enabled, enable it and use msinfo32 again to see if all other  Hyper-V requirements are met as well.
