You need to install Windows 8 and Visual Studio 2012 for Windows Phone 8 development. I got Visual Studio 2012 Professional for free via DreamSpark (www.dreamspark.com) because I'm a student.
You can get the free version:Visual Studio 2012 Express

I cannot find 100% answer if there is an option to develop Windws Phone 7 app using Visual Studio 2015. I am almost sure it is immposible but still not 100%.
There is nothing about Windows Phone 7 in Visual Studio 2015 specifications as below:
https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/products/visual-studio-2015-compatibility-vs.aspx
No, you can't use VS 2015 for WP7 development. You even can't use VS 2013 for that. Only VS 2010 and 2012 can be used to develop apps for WP7.
See older questions about VS 2013 and WP7 compability for additional info:

What is the minimum version of Visual Studio required for developing Windows Phone 8.1 application, can Visual Studio 2012 (Update 4) be used to develop the application.
According to Microsoft, Windows Phone 8.1 development requires Visual Studio 2013 Update 2 or newer, you can't use Visual Studio 2012. Note that although that page recommends installing the Express edition of Visual Studio if you don't have a paid one, it is better to install the Community edition (and of course, now you should go for VS 2015 instead of VS 2013).
I already tried to install it but it show me a message box and does not let me install it, is there any version for windows vista?
As of Visual Studio 2012, Microsoft has limited compatibility to Windows 7 or higher. If you want to run Visual Studio on a Vista operating system, you will need Visual Studio 2010 or 2008. Here's a link to the 2010 express edition: http://www.visualstudio.com/downloads/download-visual-studio-vs#DownloadFamilies_4
I need to convert my old Windows Phone 6 application from Visual Studio 2008 to Visual Studio 2010 or Visual Studio 2012. Is it possible or not?
From the forums I came to know that Windows Phone 6 SDK is no longer supported in versions 2010 and above

No, you must used visual studio 2008.

This MSDN article refer to 3 flavors of Visual Studio Express 2012:
"This includes Visual Studio Express 2012 for Windows 8, Visual Studio
Express 2012 for Windows Phone 7, and Visual Studio Express 2012 for
Web."
However I can't find any other reference or download link to **Visual Studio Express 2012 for Windows Phone 8**. Does anybody know?
UPDATE:
Windows Phone SDK 8.0 and Visual Studio Express 2012 for Windows Phone releases have been announced on Oct 30 2012 in the Build conference.
According to http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/11/en-us/products/express they will be available as soon as the product group for Windows Phone will release again a newer version of the SDK (probably a major release).
