Droid Turbo - no option to change launcher after updating to 5.1

Hi all,

I recently updated my Droid Turbo to Android 5.1. I did a factory reset immediately after the install and set up as a new device. I went to settings to change the launcher from Launcher3 (Turbo's default launcher) to Google. When I went in to the settings screen, the "Home" option was no longer available.

I tried force stopping and clearing memory on Launcher3 as well as Google App, but the Home option still isn't showing up.

Does the Turbo not have the ability to change the Launcher to the standard Google launcher? I miss swiping right to get to my Google Now cards .

Thanks for any help!

Have you already installed the Google Now launcher?
