Compaq presario cq50: Enabling Execute Disable bit

Since I have a 64-bit processor, I want to do a clean install of Windows 64-bit 10.

According to this Web page, I have to first enable the Execute Disable bit in the BIOS.

When you try to do, I couldn't find the option.

I then looked my processor (Pentium (r) Dual-Core CPU T4300 2.10 GHz) and was directed to this Web page.

As you can see, the table shows that the Execute Disable Bit feature is provided with this processor.

After reading this, I went into the BIOS and looked through each menu and submenu and still cannot find the option.

My current version of BIOS is F.65, which is the latest version of the BIOS for my computer, according to this page for Windows 7 drivers.

Does anyone know why activate option Execute Disable is not available for me?

Thank you

EDIT

This page someone explains how to see if XD is activated. I did, and that's what my current settings are:

This means that the Execute Disable Bit feature is currently enabled for my PC?

DEP is enabled in your screenshot and is very probably enabled by default in the bios, even if you don't see the setting, you should be good to go.
