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?
Yes.
Turn on virtualization on your bios settings, so you can enable Hyper-V.
Check this tutorial.

To run it you need at least 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?
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.

What i should do please ,
What is your version of Windows 8.1? You need AT LEAST Windows 8.1 Pro or better to be able to run Windows Phone Emulators. If your version is a standard one, you cannot use the Windows Phone 8 emulators, as your windows doesn't have HyperV
