How to use Qt webEngine instead of Qt webkit

Question

I added to .pro file QT += webenginewidgets, but qmake give me error:

:-1: error: Unknown module(s) in QT: webenginewidgets

I would like to port project from 5.4.0 to 5.8.0.

EDIT: I have read that I can't use MinGW for the web engine with Qt, and should use VS 2015 but I don't know how to use it yet.

I found this package Qt VS Package, but there are very contradictory comments.

windows. i have read that i can't use MinGW for the web engine, and i should use for it VS 2015, but how to do it didn't understand yet. — Alice, Jan 25 '17 at 12:02

The second option is lighter in terms of download and space taken on your machine.

You don't need the VS editor at all if you want to stay with Qt Creator and in this case the VS plugin is not needed.
