No phone emulator showing in device list in visual studio 2015 RTM

So I would like to test some apps on windows phone 10, but there is no emulator to choose from in the device drop down. I clicked on the 'Download new emulators...' option in the dropdown, downloaded the package, and installed a 3.5GB windows phone 10 emulator but I'm not seeing where it went. I've restarted windows and opened up the test project in VS2015 CE. Still no emulator available.

Anyone else have this problem? Any ideas?

You need to switch the platform in your Visual Studio from ARM to x86.

Just a guess but have you checked that your system meets all the requirements for running the emulator as described here?

Note that your hardware must support features like DEP and SLAT and the BIOS must have those features turned on.
