Is it possible to install Windows Phone 8.1 Emulator in Visual Studio 2015 in Windows 10?
Yes.
Turn on virtualization on your bios settings, so you can enable Hyper-V.

Not able to install `Hyper-V` within my virtual machine (Windows 8.1 Basic)

I would be thankful , if anyone help me to enable hyper v on my VM
Please also clarify , is it possible enable hyper-v (on my host machine) if i upgrade my main host machine from win 8 basic to win 8.1 basic ?
No. Hyper-V is a Windows 8.1 Pro feature. It is not available on Windows 8.1 Basic. You will need Windows 8.1 Pro to run Hyper-V
See Compare Windows 8.1 Editions
You do not need Hyper-V to develop Windows Phone apps. You can use Windows 8.1 Basic and Visual Studio 2013. Without Hyper-V you cannot run the emulator, but you can test on a physical device.
You cannot use Windows 8.0 Basic to develop Windows Phone apps. You'll need Windows 8.0 Pro (to develop Windows Phone 8 apps only, with Visual Studio 2012) or an Windows 8.1 (to develop Windows Phone 8 or 8.1 apps with Visual Studio 2013).

Windows Phone 8 emulator on Windows 8.1

Is it possible to run Windows Phone 8 emulator on Windows 8.1 standard edition (not 8.1 Pro)?
I know that normally the emulator requires Hyper-V which is not available in non-Pro version but since Windows Phone 7 emulator works fine without Hyper-V maybe there is a way to run 8's emulator without Hyper-V as well?

Deploying on windows phone 8.1

I installed the last version of visual studio to target windows phone 8.1 OS. After the installation I figured out that the 8.1 OS was not yet released and I couldn't deploy my application on my device. Can I target the windows phone 8.0 version when building the application?
Yes you can. Go to your project properties and there on your application tab, you can select the target OS.
Select This Project Template & It will prompt you to select your targeting Windows Phone OS
But Once you have targeted 8.1 you can't deploy on a 8.0 device or emulator.
