No Basic Authentication choice available in IIS7

I do not have the option for Basic Authentication in IIS Manager under IIS=>Authentication. I do have the following options:

Anonymous Authentication ASP.NET Impersonation Forms Authentication 

I am using Windows 7 professional N, and according to this, Basic Authentication should be available to me.

Does anyone have any ideas?

I don't have enough rep to add a comment to the chosen answer, but I feel like it's important to add that you'll likely need to close and reopen IIS Manager before it will show up in the list of choices for Authentication.

Otherwise you could go mad trying to figure out why you did the above and the list didn't change.
