Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate not seeing SDK

I feel like such a noob again. Anyways, several years ago, I got my feet wet with .NET add-ins for Arcmap using Visual Studio 2008 Express. Fast forward to today when I need to troubleshoot why my add-in isn't working. My current PC is Windows 7 64-bit with ArcGIS 10.4.1 and Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate. The ArcObjects SDK for .NET appears to be installed on my machine (I have tried a repair on the install).

I tried opening up my old 2008 project and it said it needed to migrate it. Fine. It completes without throwing an error. When I attempt to build/rebuild the project, I get 100s of errors that the ESRI objects are not defined. When I look at My Project, I see that all the ESRI references are broken:

If I try to create a new project, ESRI Add-ins are not listed on the lefthand side:

So- I'm guessing there's something wrong with my install? Something installed out of sequence or...? I can't seem to find anything in the online help about SETTING UP the SDK; only creating an add-in once the SDK is installed.

Thanks!

Steve

ArcGIS 10.4.1 may not support VS 2010. According to the system requirements, it works with VS 2013 and 2015

Ugh. What a mess. I first updated to VS 2015 Express and promptly ran into the ITableSort bug so then I installed VS 2013 Express and was finally able to get my exsting add-in project rebuilt. None of the 3 VS installs are giving me an option for an ESRI add-in when creating a new project but I'll fix that later. Right now I just needed to correct some issues in an existing one so thank you.
