You downloaded and installed it, have you actually done anything with it?

Compiled a couple of the examples, though, as stated in the specs for the Starter version, the database examples won't compile as the packages therefor are not included. I downloaded and installed it mainly to see what has changed since Delphi 2006, the last version that I owned and used through my previous company.
FWIW, I do have .Net 4.61 on my Windows 8.1 machine (the very laptop I am typing this on), which is my everyday workhorse and I made the conscious decision not to upgrade this one to Windows 10.

For "real" work these days, I am trying to use FreePascal/Lazarus, as I need to be able to create cross-platform apps including Linux and Mac OS X...

PS: I got around to install this on a Windows 7/64 Ultimate test machine and it is working there as well, though for some strange reason, it did not set the file associations properly during install and I had to fix that manually in the Options menu
