    So, I am back as promised earlier. First of all thanks a lot for all of your responses to the blog. I am glad that I am getting a huge support.
    Firstly, lets start with the installation process of Visual Studio 2015. There are many options available in Visual Studio 2015. One is you can download Visual Studio Community IDE or can also opt for Visual Studio Enterprise.
    Download any of the product from the aforementioned links and lets start with the step by step installation process of Visual Studio 2015. Before the installation of Visual Studio 2015 make sure the "Virtualization" is enabled from BIOS settings as follows:

    Enable and Disable the following :

    After doing this save and exit and then start the system. Once it is done click on the setup file you have.

                        Select "Typical" to install all the necessary components.

     However if you want specific components and tools to be installed, choose "Custom"

    For users who already have Visual Studio installed on their system they need to click the setup file and choose"Modify" as follows :

   

 
    After clicking the "Modify" button following options will appear :

    For Universal Windows App Development following features needs to be installed :

The packages that were selected will be downloaded and installed the setup process is finished, click on "LAUNCH" and now you are good to go.

** Note : The installation might take some time depending on your internet speed and the speed of your system. Have some patience. Because its worth waiting for a while.**

The installation process is done here. And now in the next blog we will understand the IDE of Visual Studio 2015. I'll be back soon.
