You have to launch Qt Maintenance Tool : Start -> Programs -> Qt -> Qt Maintenance Tool.

Skip the Qt login (unless you are using a commercial version of Qt).

Select "Add or remove components" and click yes. You'll be able to select other kits to download and install*.

Then Qt Creator should automatically add those kits, you'll just have to add them to your project : go to project settings once your project is open, and you'll find "Add kit" button in the upper left corner.

*Qt Maintenance Tool may prompt you to update components first if there's a new version available.
