TurboC is not a freeware... You have to purchase license for that.

Try DevC++ or gcc compiler.

And if u have TC ( ;) ), then try DosBox to run it fullscreen. :|

yes, you can... until you uses compiler specific libraries...

please in detail as i am new to c
Libraries like conio and graphics that you use in Turbo C are compiler specific i.e. they exist only in TC, it's not available in standard C. So, as long as you stick to standard coding practices you won't have any problem using decent compilers, PoS like TC would be a problem though cos it doesn't follow standards.

You can use _getch() in VC++ as a substitute. No replacement for graphics, though, when it comes to console apps.
