Can Windows 10 UWP run on Windows 8.1 Devices?
I'm building a Windows 10 UWP app, and would like to know if it will run on Windows Phone 8.1 and/or Windows 8.1 Desktop. Windows 8.1 is still quite prevalent, and I would like to be able to reach these users with my app.

Windows 10 apps can only run on Windows 10 (and newer). If you want to target 8.1, you have to build a 8.1. A 8.1 should run on Windows 10 without any problems.
