Bitcoin core does not produce a wallet at all I'm reading tutorials on working with bitcoin core like this:


http://bitcoindaily.org/bitcoin-guides/bitcoin-core-tutorial/
and
http://bitcoindaily.org/bitcoin-guides/how-to-recover-bitcoins-bitcoin-core-wont-sync-export-private-key/


Both of which suggest the use of bitcoin core should produce a wallet address of some kind automatically.  Specifically, the second says:


  Bitcoin core automatically generates your first bitcoin address for
  you but you can create as many new ones as you want.


I can't seem to get a wallet address to get started.

Where there is supposed to be a wallet address there is none, and I am asked to enter one, but how do I get one in the first place?

Here is what I see:



There is no address, and I can't just guess one---anything I type in the Address box says it is invalid.
Bitcoin core automatically generates your first bitcoin address for you but you can create as many new ones as you want.


This is outdated. An address is no longer created for you by default.

You can create an address from within the Receive tab by clicking the "Create new receiving address" button.


  Here is what I see:


You are looking at the Sending Addresses window which is for addresses that you want to send to. It is not for your own receiving addresses; that would be the Receiving Addresses window. In recent versions of Bitcoin Core, the functionality to create a new address in the Receiving Addresses window has been removed.
