-Code::Blocks will work with any edition of Visual C++ since the 2003 edition (MSVC 7.1).

You can also download the most recent "Community" edition of Visual C++ for free from [https://www.visualstudio.com/vs/community/]. If you choose a "Community" edition of Visual C++, it is highly recommended that you also install Microsoft's Platform SDK in order to develop programs for Windows.
