New to c++, need advice finding the correct tools

[Mars57]

Hi, I've recently become interested in learning c++, but I'm having some trouble getting started.

I need to know whats the best (most suitable) IDE & compiler to use with my pc.
I've searched online with little to no success.

I recently updated to Windows 10, I'm using a HP Stream 13.3 touch laptop, 32 GB flash storage, 2GB DDR3L SDRAM, Intel Celeron processor N2840. (I don't know if those specs are useless to know, just thought I'd specify)

Hm, as I said; I've looked online for the most suitable programs to use, I've tried downloading a compiler off of Codeblocks, but apparently the file was not complete or corrupted in some way. I've tried several downloads, this was before I updated to Windows 10 (previously ran on 8.1)

I know this message probably sounds ignorant

Could some please point me in the right direction to get started?

What is with people just writing "write your question here"?

Anyway, a IDE that I can recommend is the Microsoft Visual studio 2015 the community version found on the following website:
https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/visual-studio-homepage-vs.aspx

The other good IDE is netbeans which is found on the following website:
https://netbeans.org/

I really think that Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 is far superior for C++ then the netbeans, but netbeans is better at websites I think.

Those are the things that I recommend. :)

Remember there is a great tool on this site as well; The C++ tutorial page which is located on the following webpage:

While I'm not pushing it xcode for mac users is a great option.
