I'm on a Dell Latitude laptop with fresh Windows 10 (it just updated), and I'm installing all the things. One of those things is MySQL via the oracle installer.
MySQL required c++ redistributables, so I have installed both 2013 and 2015 redistributables, and the MySQL installer has successfully installed several programs, one of which being Workbench, but not MySQL Server.
I have tried googling for Visual Studio 2013 Redis. - but that only brings up the c++ redis -should I install VS 2013 CE?
What is MySQL Server wanting from me?

Hop on over to VisualStudio.com and download both x86 and the x64 or whichever you may not already have installed.
Sometimes software prerequisite checks will require the x86 versions of packages even when the x64 version of the product is what is being installed.
Simply download the package for the CPU architecture which you do not already have installed and then afterwards re-run the MySQL Server install again and maybe the prerequisite check will pass.
