Working with Oracle SQL Developer 4.1.1 in Windows 10 - Part 1

In the previous post the details of downloading the free Oracle SQL Developer 4.1.1 and the Java SDK8 were described for a Windows 10 on a x32bit machine. As to requirements please refer to
this link. Although Windows 10 is not in the list of OSs, it seems to work without a problem, at least so far.

You do not need to install the Oracle SQL Developer tool as the executable (sqldeveloper.exe) is in the download.  Java8 SDK was downloaded and installed with the x64 bit SQL Developer on Window 10 on x32 bit laptop. However Oracle SQL Developer Tool 4.1.1  already had JDK8 and there was no need to install JDK8 separately.

Launch the SQL Developer by double clicking the executable. It starts off with the following:
