You need to install the WDK after having installed VS2013. If you install it before VS2013, the VS components will not be installed to your machine.
The templates you are looking for should have been installed by the WDK to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\IDE\ProjectTemplates\VC\Windows Driver". If that folder doesn't exist, something went wrong with your WDK installation: you might want to reinstall it.
If the files are there, but you still can't find them in your menu, you might want to force VS to load the templates by running "devenv /installvstemplates" from an admin command prompt. Running "devenv /setup" might also help. Make sure VS is closed when you do that.

Hmm I installed WDK after VS2015 and it doesn't add any files to that location. – Timmmm Dec 15 '15 at 21:50

Ah I think the problem is that it doesn't support the community edition of VS. – Timmmm Dec 15 '15 at 21:55

Right. WDK 8.1 supports VS 2013 Pro and above, and VS 2013 Express. Community was released after WDK 8.1 was released, and thus is not supported. The Windows 10 WDK supports VS 2015 Community. – Max Ouellet Dec 16 '15 at 22:52

Yeah that wasn't the issue after all - for some reason I think when I uninstalled WDK and installed it again it silently removed some Windows SDK files. Very odd. Anyway I uninstalled the Windows SDK and installed it again and it works now. – Timmmm Dec 17 '15 at 13:32
