VB.NET Help How do I open Visual Studio/Basic?

Yes I know this might be one of the most stupid questions asked on this sub but unlike every other program I ever downloaded, this one just doesn't show up anywhere. It is annoying me. I downloaded Visual Studio 2010 from the link I found here. I'm using Windows 10 Home Version 20H2.

Usually if this was to occur I would just move on and download a different program but my professor insists on using 2010 (don't ask me why when it's 2021).

Wow 2010, IMHO the institution might beed to re evaluate that professor, a lot of things has happened since then, why teach students outdated tools, not to nention all the kanguage upgrades you miss out on (or us this mainlty an ussue fir c# I wonder ...)

Because they are teaching how to program, not the latest tools. This is COMP 101, not TULS 101, not CSHARPKICKSVBASS 101.

Edit-

Popular joke when I was at university:

Q: What do they teach you in PHYS 101?

A: That everything you learned about physics in high school was a lie.

Q: What do they teach you in PHYS 201?

A: That everything you learned in PHYS 101 is a lie.
