The theoretical goal, of course, is to write native Windows 8 apps. When you port your Windows Phone Silverlight app to a Windows 10 app, youll be able to catch up on the mobile features that were introduced in Windows Phone 8.1, and go far beyond them to use the Universal Windows Platform (UWP) whose app model and UI framework are universal across all Windows 10 devices.
