Building a Universal Windows driver (UMDF 2) results in link error

while following the tutorial on writing a Universal Windows Driver (UMDF 2) based on template (link to MSDN Tutorial) I get the following error trying to build with no modifications to the template code.

Error LNK1181 cannot open input file 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\lib\10.0.10240.0\um\x64\wpprecorderum.lib'

I installed the latest windows 10 WDK from here (link to WDK) and have found this file exists at: C:\Program Files (x86)...\lib\10.0.10586.0\um\x64\ NOT C:\Program Files (x86)...\lib\10.0.1024.0\um\x64...

When I change the Windows Target version from 10.0.1024.0 to 10.0.10586 I get the error

Error An SDK corresponding to WDK version '10.0.10586.0' was not found.

How do I get this to compile? Do I need to find an earlier version of the WDK?

Thanks

Apparently the tutorial should state that you need the latest version of the windows SDK as well. So here is link (Windows SDK). Once I installed that the build was successful.
