Drupal running but I'm missing something. Install worked fine and job completed successfully.
There has to be step(s) that is/are evading me.

After going to localhost/drupal , page comes up with my site as heading but when I try which I believe is next step "add content" an error occurs .../drupal/Node/ADD "Page Not Found".

Now, when I look at the path, the sub directory Node is not there. That makes me think that I've missed a step.

Any point type list would be appreciated. Latest Drupal 8.0.2, latest WAMPP, W10.

Thanks in advance.
Edit:

Have to say I find Drupal overwhelming, following this link https://www.drupal.org/start and after hopefully installing drupal (XAMPP local server) I need to "find a distribution" which seems to be an editor? Anyway how is this distribution "added" to drupal?
Modules and Themes, how are they added? I've read what seems to be about 100 pages of documentation but am getting nowhere fast.

Please Help

I find it strange that although when I enter localhost/drupal into browser a "site" comes up BUT any action (link) tried comes up with "page not found", even things that appear to be admin tasks.
I'm assuming that one of those "distributions" above will allow editing / building of web page / site, correct?
Also while I'm at it, I've built a comprehensive non-deployed site using an editor and want to "drop" it into Drupal or modify it using Drupal, is this possible?

In fact this site is what I've done and ended up with the same result as them. Any option selected returns a "no page error" http://www.tpg-design.co.uk/how-to-install-drupal-8-on-your-pc/ "What now", is my Question, how to proceed?

Hi, more details on what is happening (or not happening)

1. No front page content has been created yet (which is expected) so I click on "ADD CONTENT" and there is no "node"directory (not expected).

2. When "localhost/drupal"is called up, the userid allocated during setup is used to automatically log in. Problem is on logging off and trying to log back in "ÜRL not found" occurs (localhost/drupal/user/login). In fact there is no user directory at all. Not sure how it logs me in initially.

After reading up on this board, wonder if I shouldn't get rid of 8 and flip back to 7, any advice appreciated.

Does anyone know what creates the ADMIN directory or when it is created?
Same goes for the NODE directory.
Unfortunately my installation does not have either and does not function other than coming up with an initial page.
