My PC doesn't have a compiler, How do I get one

Question

I have an Asus Aspire E 15 with windows 10, When I load up code blocks it says I don't have a compiler

Answer 1

I think for code blocks you need something like mingw or cygwin. If you want everything all-in-one (including IDE), you can use Visual Studio Community from here: https://www.visualstudio.com/free-developer-offers/

I have visual studio as well as CLion as I'm trying it out, which also requires mingw or cygwin. So far I'm liking the IDE itself and it has some cool features. If you are a student, you can get all their stuff for free.
