How to add Module and cmdlet "BranchCache" to Powershell in Win8.1

I am not able to see the module folder for  "BranchCache" in my Windows 8.1 machine.
Do you know how we can get the module (Service / Feature add) ?

I am trying to run  "Get-BCStatus".

Help.

it should be available..  it normally resides in the c:\windows\system32\windowspowershell\v1.0\Modules
You must be using Windows 8.1 PRO or Enterprise

I don't see this folder "BranchCache" in this location:
C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\Modules\

Any ideas?

Do I need to add/remove some components?
My Error. winver doesn't show the subtype. if you go to control panel / system does it say
Windows 8.1 or Windows 8.1 Pro or Windows 8.1 Enterprise

It must show pro or enterprise
I have Windows 8.1. Pro.

The interesting thing is that this Technet article mentions these versions:

Applies To: Windows 8, Windows 8 Enterprise, Windows 8 Pro, Windows Server 2012

Install the BranchCache Feature and Configure the Hosted Cache Server by Service Connection Point
