Hello Natasha!. I am running QGIS 2.18.5 on Windows 10 operating system. I recall that I kind of fumbled my way into getting the Orfeo Toolbox to appear. I do recall there was a reboot/restart involved....and I think I may have lit a few candles and some incense in my office. :-)
You're not alone about "spending hours". Fortunately (or unfortunately) I am unemployed for several months, so I am taking the "opportunity" to learn as much software implementation as I can.
