What is the correct order of installing visual studio 2010 and expression studio 4.0?]
In light of the WPF expression blend link not being present on the open lnk - i'm thinking that maybe the order of software installation is important. i am thinking first
expression studio 4.0 is first and then the visual studio 2010 is next because visual studio needs to know what links to find in order to place if any in its IDE.
Order is not important. IMHO. But when I istall this apps, first I setup VS. its just habit, nothing more.

I have a project from VS Studio 2010 that I want to work with in VS 2015. When I start this Project with VS 2015 I receive an error saying something like "compatibility-Error (Version)".
How can I successfully convert a Visual Studio 2010 project to use with Visual Studio 2015?
Without you going into any more detail about the actual error. (error numbers / screenshot) it will be very hard for any of us to give a real answer. Therefore I am going to suggest you take a look at Troubleshooting Unsuccessful Project Upgrades.
Something else to check out might be the Porting, Migrating, and Upgrading Visual Studio Projects guide
One of the key things mentioned in the 2nd link I provided is:
The following list describes support in Visual Studio 2015 and Visual Studio 2013 for projects that were created in Visual Studio 2012 or Visual Studio 2010 SP
Therefore I'd recommend upgrading the 2010 version to SP1 first. (if this is still installed that is)
One further thing to note is that if you keep the old version of Visual studio installed you can import a project which is made with an older version and skip the update. Visual studio 2015 will then use parts of the older version itself to open the project.
For details you can read How to: Upgrade Visual C++ Projects to Visual Studio 2015 page and the equally useful Installing Visual Studio Versions Side-by-Side page.
It appears that there are issues when moving from VS 2010.Net to VS 2015.Net and may require that you build the project from scratch and copy the code over. VS 2015 requires a Namespace. There are a number of designer issues on control that require the style page be used since various attributes have been removed. Something still, however, do work but you need to review the HTML, specifically things like Font and alignment. While it's a pain it isn't a big deal since it requires mostly cut and paste.
If you are having issues converting web projects the projects may have originally been created as a "web site" rather than a "web Project" . Try opening the application as a web site and see what happens. At least that may help get you to the point you can actually get to the code to convert it in VS 2015. Hope this helps.

I'm having some serious trouble downloading Microsoft Expression Blend. I want to learn to work with Microsoft Silverlight, so I downloaded Visual Studio Express 2013 for Web Update 1.
I have created a silverlight project and edited it successfully, and now I'm at the point in my learning in which Expression Blend comes in handy (animations and styling).
On the Microsoft Expression download page, it is clearly stated that "Blend continues to ship as a standalone tool with Visual Studio 2013". However, I cannot find Blend anywhere on my Windows 7 laptop, nor do I see any way to open Blend from within Visual Studio.
I do know that all the things that can be done in Expression Blend can be done in Visual Studio programmatically, but I would prefer to do them visually in Blend.
To use Expression Blend, do I need a different version of Visual Studio (Web vs Desktop etc.)? Do I need to update Visual Studio? Is it required that I buy the professional edition?
From your link it states:
You can download Blend for Visual Studio 2013 with Visual Studio Express for Windows, Visual Studio Express for Windows Phone, and Visual Studio Professional 2013 and higher.
No mention of Visual Studio for Web. So you need to Download one of the above mentioned express versions or spring for the professional edition.
I am going to learn F#. In my lecturer notes, they have simply asked to open VS 2010, open project, select other languages and select F# ! I have VS 2010 express, and everything is separated into different software like Visual C++, Visual C# etc, there is no F# !
In this thread (Is F# 3.0 available on Visual Studio 2010 professional?) I found it is in VS 2012 express so I downloaded it. But, again I can't find F#!
How to make a F# project in VS express? Please help!
EDIT
At least, is this is available in Visual Studio 2010 Professional? Please help!
Download Visual Studio Express 2012 for Web (it is important, you cannot use F# with Visual Studio Express 2012 for Desktop or other), then install F# Tools for Visual Studio Express 2012 for Web. Full description how to do this is on msdn blog
In Visual Studio 2010 you can drag tabs out to separate windows but you can not collect them together as additional tabbed elements. Is there a VS 2010 add-on to allow you to group your extra windows into tabs? It would be really nice to have a set of tabs on each of my monitors.
The best place to look is the Visual Studio Gallery for 2010 Extensions. If you are lucky someone else has already had the idea and created an extension (VSIX) for you.
Otherwise, why do you have a go at writing it yourself by grabbing a copy of the Visual Studio 2010 SDK and read the Getting Started Guide.
UPDATE: I just stumbled on this awesome Visual Studio Extension that may do want you are looking for: Visual Studio 2010 Pro Power Tools.
http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/d0d33361-18e2-46c0-8ff2-4adea1e34fef
Productivity Power Tools does it, and it's free. The feature is called Document Well.
I have a feeling that the Visual Studio SDK is targeted heavily towards the version of Visual Studio it is created for, so I'm wondering how to do this in the best way possible. I currently only have Visual Studio 2008, but people using Visual Studio 2010 have begun wanting to use my tool as well, and I want to help them out. There were some using Visual Studio 2005 as well. Is there any way to do this without maintaining two (or three) different versions of the tool in different versions of Visual Studio?
This question is related, maybe it helps: Does Visual Studio 2010 have backward compatibility with visual studio 2008's addins?
