Android emulator on VS 2015?

I just installed Visual Studio Community 2015 Update 3 (with Xamarin) from scratch from the 7GB ISO.
My aim is to create a blank Xamarin project and run it in an Android emulator.

But in the Start button, I can't even see the device/emulator selections. enter image description here

I thought Visual Studio comes with an Android emulator.
What am I missing? How can I run it on an emulator?

Not 100% sure with your Visual Studio version but it's an optional feature in Visual Studio Enterprise. I had to choose it specifically to install it. You can go to Programs and Features, choose to change Visual Studio 2015, then choose Modify and add the Android Emulator like this:

This is the option you need to choose to install the Android Emulator
