Where is my “Loudness Equalization” tab?

I was trying to increase the headphones volume in my Windows 10 above the 100% Level. I found this article (for Windows 8) that looked promising. However, it talks about a "Loudness Equalization" setting in an "Enhancements" tab in the "Speakers Properties" dialog, which for some reason, I do not have. My "Speakers/Headphones Properties" dialog looks like this:
There is no "Enhancements" tab, and in all four existing tabs, there is no "Loudness Equalization" setting...
where can I find this setting?
In case this matters, I have a Dell laptop.

This is a setting specifically meant for certain on-board and normal sound cards. If your soundcard does not support this, it will not exist.
That doesn't mean you're out of luck. I use Equalizer APO (open source) software to do this realtime with minimum to no latency/cpu usage.
Before you discard this answer, the program is versatile and also allows you to only apply gain. So you can just boost the volume rather than applying EQ, but applying EQ will make the sound better in quality and boost it, where gain will not allow you to boost too much without introducing distortion.

I installed it and tried to read the manual, but did not understand it - what should I do in order to just increase the volume?

The first thing is to make sure it uses your soundcard. On first launch it will say that it needs to be configured, and a reboot is required. After the reboot, you can use it. By default there should be a gain and an equalizer. For boosting you just use the gain, which is one volume knob. Make sure it is enabled on the left and turn up the volume. It's as simple as that. Also, you do not need to keep the app running.

The "knob" is the one that appears when running the Editor.exe program?

Yes, the editor program allows you to edit the parameter for the sound service. You can safely boost the volume there, then use your normal volume to turn it back down so you can boost it up by your normal volume.
