I was using Visual Studio 2015 RC and building Windows 10 App with no problem. Once I upgraded to Windows 10, I also upgraded my VS but after that I cannot run and build my Windows 10 app.
I downloaded the VS 2015 here, when I chose custom install, there was no "Universal Windows App Development Tool" option as described here. I could only see a "Windows 8.1 and Windows Phone 8.0/8.1 Phone" option.
What's wrong with my install? Am I downloading the wrong file?
I think the new tools just came out a few hours ago, you can get the tools through this links :
For VS 2015 Community
For VS 2015 Professional
For VS 2015 Enterprise
Hope it helps.
Install the Windows 10 SDK (Build 10240) and the Windows 10 Developer Tools. No you see the Universal Template Items in the New Project dialog.
you need to install the latest SDK which was released yesterday for Windows 10 Final Version. http://dev.windows.com --> SDK Download
From the Microsoft website:
Note: This release does not support developing for Windows 10 until July 29. Continue to use Visual Studio 2015 RC until July 29 if you are developing Universal Windows apps.
I guess it hasn't been updated yet. Perhaps depending on country, location, or installing an update that is to be released today.
Looks like it was a time/date problem: I modified my VisualStudio 2015 just a second ago: the universal tools option appeared and installed. Look at channel9 for instructions.

Xamarin requires VS 2015 for its free version. Unfortunately, VS 2015 is not compatible with Windows 7. I've also tried to download Xamarin Studio but it seems it's no longer available for Windows.
Is there any way to install Xamarin in Windows 7?
Visual Studio 2015 is compatible with Windows 7 Service Pack 1; you can check the system requirements here. Furthermore, Xamarin is also compatible with lower versions of Visual Studio 2015. You can check Xamarin system requirements here.
After install VS 2015 community version, do I need to install any additional components for Windows 10 universal store app development? And how could I check if my VS 2015 community version is ready for Windows 10 universal store app development? This is what I see and it seems only win 8.1 related options are available?
thanks in advance,

Yes, you need to install the Windows 10 SDK.
There two versions of the Windows 10 SDK. The 10.0.10240 SDK which was released in July 2015, and the 10.0.10568 SDK which was released in November 2015. The next version of the SDK, which is codenamed "Redstone" will be available in the next few months. The right thing to do is to install both of them.
Is it possibility to create windows universal app for windows 10 in Visual Studio 2013? Should I install some kind of SDK, and after that everything will be ok or I have to use VS2015?
VS2013 won't work, you have to use VS2015.
You can run VS2015 on Windows 10, Windows 8.1 or Windows 7 to create Windows 10 apps.
Make sure to install the components for Windows Universal App Development during the installation of VS 2015. VS 2015 can be installed side by side with VS 2013.
More info can be found on MSDN
No need to have 2015. Not everyone is having this.
If you are using a different development environment than Visual Studio 2015, you can download a standalone Windows SDK for Windows 10 installer. Note that you don’t need to install this SDK if you’re using Visual Studio 2015 Update 3 – it's already included.

I have got Visual Studio 2015 Ultimate Preview installation through my students Dreamspark account. I installed it on top of updated Windows 8.1. workstation.
I have Windows Phone 8.0 application that I need to publish to Windows Phone Store. I am following MS guide on their site, but I am stuck with step in which my options for packaging solution are disabled in VS 2015 Preview (can't start the wizard).
Here is the screenshot of Visual Studio:
On this site: http://goo.gl/pjbLPh I have found guide for installing Tools for Maintaining Store apps for Windows 8 but it is targeting VS 2012 and VS 2013. In my installer for VS 2015 I didn't even see this tool in optional features for install. Maybe the name is changed?
Does anyone have early experiences with VS 2015 Preview and packaging WP 8 apps for Windows Phone Store?
You have to select a Windows Store app project in the solution explorer before.
(You screenshot shows that you currently selected the solution and not a project.)
Make sure that the distribution option is selected.
