Visual Studio 2015 not recognizing Windows SDK (Fall Creators Update)

I recently installed windows 10 software development kit for Fall Creators update (10.0.16299.15). I used the .exe installer from this link (Windows 10 SDK). But in Visual Studio 2015, while creating new blank Universal Windows App in C# or C++, Target Version doesn't show this SDK as an option.!
Note: I use Windows 10 Home - Version 1709 (OS Build 16299.19)
Visual Studio 2017 is required for developing UWP applications for Windows builds 15063 or higher, see this.

I want to install windows mobile sdk 6, but the error is:

You have to use VS 2008 to address devices running on Windows Mobile 6.x

Visual Studio 2013 no emulators appear

I am using Windows 7 and Visual Studio Express 2013. I have installed Windows Phone 7.1 SDK and Windows Phone 8.1 SDK. When i go to VS menu under DEBUG->Other Debug Targets->Debug Windows phone internet Explorer nothing appear under Target Device Dropdown list in order to choose emulator. Any ideas how to configure them?.
The Windows Phone 8.0 SDK include the ability to create apps for 7.1 and 8.0 so there should be no need to install the 7.1 SDK.
Developing apps for 7.x is not supported in Visual Studio 2013. If you must target 7.x devices you'll need to use VS2010 or VS2012.
If you want o build for Windows Phone 7.x you should use Visual Studio 2012. You can install this AND Visual Studio 2013 on the same machine.
Again one more thing is you can not build Windows Phone 8.1 apps on Windows 7 OS. So it is advisable to install windows 8.1 / 10 OS and install both VS2012 and VS2013.

Install Windows Phone 7.1 SDK on Windows 8.1 RTM with Visual Studio 2013 RC

Does anyone know how to develop for Windows Phone 7, with Visual Studio 2013 (thus without installing Visual Studio 2010) on Windows 8.1 RTM?
I've checked the WP8.0 box when I was installing Visual Studio 2013, but it does not provide me the 7.1 SDK which is needed for my solution.
It would be great if I could do it without installing Visual Studio 2010. :D
Thank you in advance :-)
The Windows Phone 8.0 SDK include the ability to create apps for 7.1 and 8.0 so there should be no need to install the 7.1 SDK.
HOWEVER
Developing apps for 7.x is not supported in Visual Studio 2013.
If you must target 7.x devices you'll need to use VS2010 or VS2012.
If you want o build for Windows Phone 7.x you should use Visual Studio 2012. You can install this AND Visual Studio 2013 on the same machine. The only thing you may not end up being able to do is having a single solution with all projects in that you can use in both versions of VS.
