I would like to develop for Windows Embedded, but can't find any easy tutorials.
I have looked here and here
Does it just work on Silverlight, or something special?
There doesn't seem to be any templates for VS 201
start here

Where can I get a full tutorial or course needed so as to learn everything when coding a win 10 application on visual basic...or get all windows 10 applications libraries/sdk
Welcome to SO! This is where you can start: How to create an application in Visual Basic, but to know everything about Visual Basic you'll have to do some research on knowledge bases. For instance my favorite knowledge base is Tutorialspoint, because it not only has everything about programming logged into one 'place', but it also shows custom code examples to give better understanding about the different topics. This page on Tutorialspoint explains everything about VB, and it's very compact.
I'm looking for an open source or cheap way to graph/chart data. I searched here and found some on github and codeplex, but there wern't any screen shots. There seemed to be a good one for Silverlight, but I got caught in a 'need to update - already up to date' loop. Recommendations? Thanks.
edit: Unfortunately i'm using Visual C# 2010 Express. I don't think it's available for the express versions.
What about zedgraph?
klick me
i used that for x-y-graphs, but it is able to do alot more :)
You didn't say which version of VS you're using, but Chart Controls is built in for VS2010+.
If you are looking for a Silverlight library, you can find it in Silverlight Toolkit. For WPF, it is included in the WPF Toolkit. Otherwise, as mentioned in another answer, for Windows Forms the charting library is included in the standard framework for .NET 4.
So....I've never really done much in the way of GUI programming apps. Namely because for school ive been stuck in C++ land. But since Im graduating in December I thought it'd be nice (while im looking for a job) to study something I've wanted to look into for awhile. And please dont mark this as "subjective" im just simply asking what I need to "know" to get started.
Namely GUI programming. Im not used to it....nor have I really ever been. It's not something they focus on in school (for instance my senior design was a webcam mouse thing, but had very little in the way of GUI)
I've seen alot about C# being the superior GUI programming tool for fast development.....but I dont really know whats out there. I know "of" QT, and Im used to C++. However Im not too familiar with what the "choice" GUI language is. I do like programming on Windows however most of my stuff has been in Unix here lately (Mostly because of my OS class).
I dont know anything about .net, and i've heard of something called WPF? Is that part of .net.....or.....what? Im just a bit confused at where to start.
Thanks
Microsoft has some good resources for getting started on their platform with .NET.
Try these...

Learn .NET Framework on MSDN
Start here to get a conceptual overview of the key features of the .NET Framework, including the common language runtime, the .NET Framework class library, and more.
Yeah.... C# is a great tool for GUI.... My condition was same like yours when I started.... My suggestion is get into it.... Make some simple GUIs.... Its fun to make simple apps like say Calculator!
There are very good tutorials available on internet.... You are just a Google away from them.... And For everyproblem, There is Stack Overflow! :)
All the best!!

WPF is pretty awesome. It is rather closely related to xml.

If you use the toolbox its mostly self explanatory for the basic components. Here are components of a basic page.

You have two choices to go with:
Windows Forms (WinForms)
Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF)
For all future desktop GUI applications, WPF is recommended.
How I can start pocket pc programming in C#
Please I want any link to start
Here you have a good one: .NET Compact Framework Developer Center
PocketPC has been rebranded by Microsoft in later version as "Windows Mobile". Here's a link to their developer center.
Also be aware that the new versions of windows phone are going to use a combination of silverlight and XNA so anything you learn from the above links is going to be for legacy systems.
If this is something you are doing for yourself I would possibly hold off until it is known what will happen to the legacy systems. I am still unsure if WinMo 7 is going to be marketed to large companies but judging by the success of the iPhone it could very well be.
You probably want to search for the .NET Compact Framework. Here's the wiki article that will give basic information about it (and some links).
And here's the MSDN page for it.
How can I write gadgets for the Windows 7 desktop using C# and Visual Studio 2008? I'm looking for tutorials and resources on that topic.
Try Authoring Sidebar Gadgets in C#.
C# is not the only option. This detailed tutorial explains how to develop gadgets without C#. (Orginally gadgets were authored in a mix of XML, HTML, CSS, and some IE scripting language.)
How to get started with Windows 7 gadgets is a related Stack Overflow question that may also provide additional information.
