I tried to make a Unreal Engine 4 project, but it gives this error:
The project could not be compiled. Would you like to open it in Visual Studio?

ERROR: Windows SDK v8.1 must be installed in order to build this target.

When I try to press on “Open in Visual Studio” it gives this error:
Could not edit the code editing IDE. C:/Users/groch/Documents/Unreal Projects/R/R.sln could not be found.

I’m new to the engine and C++, can someone help me?

You’re missing the Windows 8.1 SDK. You can install it by going to Add/Remove Programs and selecting to modify Visual Studio. In the list of components you can choose to install is the Windows 8.1 SDK.
