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

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).

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
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?
As you know , for running wp8.X emulator , hyper-v is necessary and this feature is on windows 8.X pro version . so now i have windows 8.1 standard . i wanna know is there any solution for that , without buying windows 8.X pro version . for example is it possible to use virtualbox instead of using hyper-v or ... ???
Thanks
The Windows Phone 8 emulator is a special Hyper-V image.
you can use a virtual machine to deploy windows phone 8 OS. My laptop processor does not support hyper-v so, I've installed win phone 8 on a virtual machine. I found this link helpful.. check it out: How to use Windows Phone 8 Emulator without Hyper-V
If you want to develop apps without using a pro version of windows and Hyper-V you can deploy your apps to a physical device.
