will windows phone 8.1 silverlight app work on windows 10 Phone?

Question

I would like to know if a Windows Phone Silverlight 8.1 app will work without any flaw on a Windows 10 phone. If I need to fix some bugs for Windows 10 phone, can I use VS2013 and a Windows 8.1 machine to fix the issues in Silverlight 8.1 solution?

Answer 1

In general: Yes to both. Windows Phone Silverlight apps will run on Windows 10 Mobile, and you can continue to use Visual Studio 2013 to write and edit Windows Phone Silverlight 8.1 apps.
