windows phone application development for windows phone 8 and 10

I want to develop windows application that runs on windows phone 8 and 10 both.

my dependency is only on windows phone not for desktop.

I have already developed an application that runs on win7,win8,win10 OS PC using C# and Xaml.

Now I have to develop the single application for windows phone 8 and windows phone 10 using C# and Xaml.

can i reuse the code that i wrote for windows desktop appliaction??

Can anyone guide me what is the minimum system requirement and how to proceed.

I read about windows 10 UWP app but this does not run on windows 8 phone.

please guide me.

Windows Phone is totally different from traditional windows applications. Windows phone applications have a limit on API usages.

Targeted Platform

Since you want the app to run on both windows phone 8 and windows 10, try to target your app to windows phone 8 as this will run both on windows phone 8, windows phone 8.1 and windows 10 as well.

Reusing the code

If your desktop application is using an MVVM design pattern, you can use most of the code of the VM and Models in your Windows Phone 8 applications. However, you will have to work on the UI again for windows phone 8.
