I have windows phone 8 app available since two years in windows phone store. However, I would like to migrate my app to UWP, but I have below concerns;

  1. Is it possible to migrate from windows phone 8 to UWP? (not windows phone 8.x then to UWP)
  2. Is Windows phone 8 apps will be available in Windows 10 store?

Thanks!

According to the Windows 10 Dev-Guide-Videos, you need to do the following steps to migrate a WP8 app to windows 10

  1. Port the UI Silverlight -> Windows XAML
  2. Rewrite code to target UAP APIs
  3. Design UX for multiple form factors
