- Visual Studio 2017 can be used, however it is recommended that you install
the Visual C++ 2015 build tools. These build tools can be installed
using VS 2017's installer. Be sure to also install the workload for
"Universal Windows Platform development", its optional component, the
"C++ Universal Windows Platform tools", and for UWP / Windows 10
development, the "Windows 10 SDK (10.0.10240.0)". Please note that

earlier versions of Windows, such as Windows 7, is not always supported
by Visual Studio, and you may get error(s) when attempting to do so.
- Visual C++ 2012 can only build apps that target versions 8.0 of Windows,
or Windows Phone. 8.0-targeted apps will run on devices running 8.1
editions of Windows, however they will not be able to take advantage of
8.1-specific features.
- Visual C++ 2013 cannot create app projects that target Windows 8.0.
Visual C++ 2013 Update 4, can create app projects for Windows Phone 8.0,
Windows Phone 8.1, and Windows 8.1, but not Windows 8.0. An optional
Visual Studio add-in, "Tools for Maintaining Store apps for Windows 8",
allows Visual C++ 2013 to load and build Windows 8.0 projects that were
created with Visual C++ 2012, so long as Visual C++ 2012 is installed
on the same machine. More details on targeting different versions of
Windows can found at the following web pages:
