C# Express and .Net framework 4.5 - Backwards compatability

I have just written a small C# app that I want to put on 4/5 PCs. The PCs have various OS's installed ranging from XP (with the latest SP supporting 4.5) to Win 8 SP1. Each PC also has various apps running, which is where my question is.

I just wanted to check to see if there is anything I need to be mindful of in relation to older applications running earlier versions of .Net (in theory at least).

Thank you.

The later .NET versions contain features and APIs that older versions do not. For instance, .NET 2 does not support LINQ, whereas .NET 3.5 does.

It is also worth noting that according to http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/8z6watww%28v=vs.110%29.aspx, Windows XP SP3 does not support .NET 4.5

As long as they have the same .NET version as your app is targeting and you don't make any unmanged calls it should be fine.
