I have been through How to get started with windows phone SDK 8.1?
, but no luck.
Its ok if anyone wants to down vote. But please help me get through the installation. :)
You need Visual Studio 2013 update 2 or later. You can download the latest free version here:
Microsoft Visual Studio Express 2013 for Windows with Update 3
To run it you need at least Windows 8.1.
If you want to use the emulators, you need Windows 8.1 Pro x64, but if you have a physical Windows phone 8.1 device, you can use it to test your apps, instead of the emulators
First of all for windows phone 8/8.1 you would be needed to have windows 8.1 (x64)Operating System, Then you should check for whether your System is Supporting Hyper-v and SLAT or not.
To check for Hyper-V and SLAT, You can have Refrence from here Does my processor support Hyper-V : Coreinfo
If you have Hyper-V and SLAT, you are ready with Devlopment for windows phone 8/8.1.
for Development of windows phone 8/8.1 You would be needed to install Visual Studio 2013 with update 2 or later. here is a download link for Express 2013 for Windows that can be used for windows, windows phone as well as for Universal Apps.
for windows phone 8.1 emulators, you can download them from here windows phone 8.1 emulators

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.

I had no problem installing it on the same setup as you.
I am aware that there are several changes between Windows 8.1 to Windows 10 with regards to mobile development.
Before I upgrade to Windows 10, I'd like to make sure that I can still develop Windows Phone 8.1 from a Windows 10 PC with VS2013 (Update 5).
Can anyone advise if I will have problems developing 8.1 phone apps with Windows 10?
TIA
You can still develop Windows Phone 8.1 apps (both Runtime or Silverlight) on Windows 10 with either Visual Studio 2013 or Visual Studio 2015 (I'd recommend upgrading to the latter).
Here's a quick snip of Windows Phone 8.1 projects in VS2015 on Windows 10:
I am running a windows 8 (64bit basic) machine , since hyper v is not available for win 8 , i tired to install win 8.1 basic (64bit) in virtual box to start windows phone 8 development.
As first step i enabled Intel Virtualization in the BIOS screen and tried to look for hyper v feature in VM's features , but could not able to find it.
So tried to run intel tool in the Host(win 8) and VM(win 8.1)
The result for the host machine :
The result for the VM :
Additionally , i also tried to run coreinfo.exe -v tool on command promt
The result for the host machine :
The result for the VM :
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).
See Getting started with developing for Windows Phone 8 for Windows 8 requirements and Visual Studio Community 2013 for Windows 8.1 requirements.

Yes you can. Just select Blank App (Windows Phone Silverlight) instead of Blank App (Windows Phone) and select the target windows phone OS version to 8.0. You're done. Refer the below image for more information.
I'm using windows 8.1 in frensh,but visual studio 2012 in english and I want to install Microsoft windows phone SDK 8 , but i could't , i tried many times but i have always the same error :Windows Phone Emulator is not compatible with this version of Windows.
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
