Console template in Visual studio 2013 not there? - c#

So today I downloaded visual studio 2013 express twice (the download was canceled the first time) And when I opened it, it told me to get a windows 8 licence, and I did... The thing is, when I want to start a new project, the only template available are store app... Here's a screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/7mpUNZn.png
I am aware back in visual studio 2010, there was an option for console application and I wonder where it is... Maybe I am being stupid, but I do need help! I do not want to create windows 8 application :/.
Any help would be great!

You have most likely downloaded VISUAL STUDIO 2013 EXPRESS FOR WINDOWS (STORE).
You need the edition for Windows Desktop, located here. See all links and editions in Scott Hanselman's recent blog post.

AFAIK, the version that you require to create a console application is
"Express 2013 for Windows Desktop"
There are 3 versions of Visual Studio Express.
all three versions are found here:
http://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/products/visual-studio-express-vs.aspx
"Microsoft Visual Studio Express 2013 with Update 4 for Windows Desktop" is the current version; one can choose between "install now" and a .iso image.

Visual Studio Store Apps

So recently I've begun learning C# from this man's video series. Right now I have Visual Studio 2013 (Community edition), and in his video he's using a subcategory called "Store Apps." My problem is that in the current version of Visual Studio I'm using, it doesn't acquire this subcategory. Anyway on how I may obtain it?
Thank you for your help.
Regards,
Saroekin.
You'll need to have the Windows Phone 8.1 SDK installed as he suggested, and make sure that you also have Visual Studio Update 2 installed.
Comment from the video description:
Note: Before we get started, make sure that you already have the
Visual Studio 2013 Update 2 installed, which will include the Windows
Phone 8.1 Tooling, like we talked about in the previous lesson. If you
already have that installed, then we're ready to move forward.

Is there any features removed or missing from visual studio 2013 compared to visual studio 2012

I want to know whether I can uninstall visual studio 2012 and install visual studio 2013 safely (I have limited HD space) or I need to keep them side by side for unique features that are not available anymore in the newer visual studio.
When visual studio 2012 original releases over a year ago, I needed to keep vs2010 installed because of the ability to create setup projects, which I do still use for some old solutions, I now want to know if that is still the case and MS decided to remove features from the newest vs2013.
All I read here are new improvements only:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/17358458/difference-between-visual-studio-2012-and-visual-studio-2013
And nothing about any removed features, even the 'boost' issue should be fixed shortly with newer versions of boost, and that is not even a removed feature, just a versioning support issue.
"We removed WebForm Scaffolding from this release because it's not ready yet. We’ll put the new bits in future release, possibly targeting update 1."
This plus some tools that will not be compatible with 2013.

You can't use ReSharper 7 or earlier with 2013, if you are a ReSharper user currently on 7 or below, you will need to purchase 8 to keep using it (or learn to live without it :s).
Follow-up to JMK's answer:
You can't use VisualSVN 3.5 or older with Visual Studio 2013. You will be required to install VisualSVN 4.0.
Developing apps for Windows phone 7.x is not supported in Visual Studio 2013.
If you have the Windows Phone SDK 8.0 (which supports both Windows Phone 7.5 and 8.0) installed, you can upgrade your 7.x project to Windows Phone 8.0 one and then you can continue development in VS 2013.

Opening existing project in VS 2012 RC

I have a project which is build in VS 2012RC, But when i zipped the project and transfer it to my machine,extracted it and try to open solution file(.sln) in my machine which also consist of VS 2012RC, it fires a pop up that
"This edition of Visual Studio only supports Windows Metro style apps".
So, What do i need to do to open the project in my machine, Please let me know if am missing something, Thanks in advance.
Visual Studio 2012 has many editions. To me you are using VS Express edition, which only supports Metro app development. Like #leppie suggested, you might install VS Ultimate edition, which can open all sorts of projects.

WP7 XNA+Silverlight Templates missing

I got an issue with Visual Studio, Silverlight 5 Beta SDK and XNA.
I did a fresh install of all Visual Studio components I need to create the application I have in mind:
Visual C# 2010 Express
XNA Game Studio 4.0
Visual Web Developer 2010 Express
Visual Studio 2010 Express for Windows Phone
Visual Studio 2010 SP1
Silverlight 5 Beta Tools
However, when I start VS 2010 Express for Windows Phone and go to create a new project these are the templates I have:
Missing Templates
But there are a few templates missing.
How can I make appear the following templates:
Full list of templates
So what am I missing in this? I believe I installed everything and still nothing appears.
Is it because I'm using the express edition of visual studio? it doesn't make much sense though.
You installed that SDK correctly (uninstalled a previous installed SDK version correctly too)?
You could try and reset your vs2010 settings. This sometimes helps to restore missing project templates. You can do so like this:
Go to Tools / Import Export Settings
Choose to "Reset all Settings"
Restart Visual Studio
No guarantees but that helped me once before, so it is probably worth a try.
Just for others to know, you must have Visual Studio 2010 service pack 1(download link) before that.
