Hello Andile,

I apologize for the very tardy response, this got lost in my emails.
I believe that to correctly use Boost, you will need to also specifically set the include and library directories.
You can do this in a Project's "Properties". In the dialog that opens up, there should be an item "Configuration Properties". Here the item "C/C++" should be selected, and the "General" view opens up.

There, the entry "Additional Include Directories" should be changed to include the root directory of Boost.

Then in the "Linker" item of "Configuration Properties", the "General" view should be opened, and the "Additional Library Directories" should be changed to include the correct Boost library folder (so deeper than the root).

I'm aware that the install/build information on Windows is outdated. I have created a ticket to resolve that #13149.
