I can't install the windows phone 8.1 emulator on my VS2015 in Windows 10. VS tells me that I need Windows 8.1 with Hyper-V.
Is it possible to install Windows Phone 8.1 Emulator in Visual Studio 2015 in Windows 10?

The Windows Phone 8.1 to Windows 10 Mobile upgrade uses an "opt-in" or "seeker" model. An eligible device must "opt-in" to be offered the upgrade. For consumers, the Windows 10 Mobile Upgrade Advisor app is available from the Windows Store to perform the opt-in.
Microsoft Emulator is a desktop application that emulates a Windows 10 Mobile device when used in conjunction with Visual Studio 2015. It provides a virtualized environment in which you can debug and test universal windows apps without a physical device.
Your Windows Phone 8.1 device should continue to work after July 11, 2017, but there will be no updates after July 11, 2017 (including security updates) and device backup functionality and other backend services will be phased out as described above.
Yes.
Turn on virtualization on your bios settings, so you can enable Hyper-V.

I had no problem installing it on the same setup as you.
