Hi Navneet,

I hope by this time your issue was resolved. This is for anyone else getting stuck with this issue.

I had windows 8.1 on my laptop and then upgraded to windows 10. I bought my raspberry pi 2 starter kit last week and was trying to get it connected directly to the laptop.

Here are a few points from the experience :
NOOBS is not the way to go. I formatted the preinstalled SD card and installed Raspbian OS.
Your Raspberry Pi will not have the IP you write into the cmdline.txt

I ended up searching the Raspberry Pi IP using AngryIPScanner.

I followed Anwaarullah's blog and Vojtech's comment in that is what really helped.
