Suggestion for C++ compiler

Question

I am looking for a free C++ compiler compatible with Windows 8. Please add link of the web page from where it can be downloaded.

DEV C++ is giving much trouble. Turbo C++ is available for DOS operating system.

You may also suggest other free software that can run a C++ programme.

Thank you for your help.

I have downloaded a turbo C++ and can not install in Windows 8. — Supriyo, Sep 23 '13 at 04:20
@Samprity - Its a product recomendation. You don't indicate what revision of C++ you want to support. Turbo C++ hasn't been relevant product for 7 years ( 2006 ). — Ramhound, Sep 23 '13 at 10:56

IDEs that usually include compilers:

Orwell Dev-C++
Codeblocks [select the one with Mingw]
Netbeans [You may need to add the C++ package]
Eclipse [You may need to add the C++ package]
Microsoft Visual Studio Express [If you're a student, you may be able to get pro for free from Dreamspark]

Of course, there are always just compilers from/using:

Which one is best in your opinion? – Supriyo Sep 23 '13 at 04:32
I don't develop much in Windows anymore, last I used was Codeblocks (but that is no ringing endorsement necessarily) - if you do Windows specific work, I'd probably go with MS's options. – nerdwaller Sep 23 '13 at 05:14

Another Free C++ compiler would be MinGW's GCC compiler.
