Visual Studio Community...I think the 2017 edition is already out too.

Visual Studio seems like too much, since you are a beginner. I suggest using Code::Blocks. It is much smaller in size and runs faster.

Code::blocks is a good choice if you have just started. Alternatively you can use Notepad++. It can be ran on nearly every computer.

If you use Windows OS then, CodeBlocks with mingw is a best IDE. Because, Windows doesn't have proper compiler for c/c++. If you use linux then, you can go with either Eclipse or CodeBlocks. If you want to use Eclipse on Windows then, you need to separately setup mingw, which is a tedious job. extras: after Turbo C/C++ (which is deprecated), there is no proper compiler for c and c++ is available. From vista, DOS support is gone so, Turbo C/C++ is not fully supported. (you can still use it with DOS BOX. Some people will suggest Visual Studio, but i personally don't like it. Because, it takes lots of space and also lagging when you have low end hardware. Happy Coding....😊
