how to start windows CE 5.0 / 6.0 development

Current Scenario:

I am a windows UWP developer. I am currently using VS 15 update 3 along with windows 10 OS on my machine.

What I want to achieve?

I want to create a windows CE based Navigation system for my car.

Problems getting started:

  1. I wanted to know that can I develop for windows CE on my windows 10 OS running machine?
  2. Can I use C# to program my application (I've read about compact framework). If yes then how?
  3. Which version of Visual studio should I use (Posts say VS 2008) but is there any later version of VS i could use?
  4. and to get myself started where do I start with assuming my ultimate goal is navigation based device for my car.

Guidance would be a great help.

The latest (and, in all likelihood, last) version of Visual Studio to support CE 5.0 and 6.0 is Visual Studio 2008, which does run on Windows 10.

Getting your hands on a copy of VS2008 may not be easy though; an MSDN subscription albeit expensive would enable you to download it, or you could try and get it off eBay (assuming the license terms allow this, of course...)

CE 5.0 and 6.0 support .NET Compact Framework 2.0 and 3.5, but not the full .NET framework used on Windows PC's.

Just for completeness, CE 5.0 supports .NET CF 1.0 as well.
