Q:

Desktop Bridge at Windows 8.1

I am running Windows 8.1 and Visual Studio Community 2015. I have an old WPF .NET App which I would like to distribute via the Windows Store. So I read about the Microsoft Desktop Bridge which seems to be a quite elegant way to bring my old apps to the UWP World.
Unfortunately I cannot find any infos at Microsofts documentation if the Desktop Bridge is also available for Windows 8.1. Do I need Windows 10 to use this tool or can I also use Windows 8.1?
Regards
Michael

A:

Desktop Bridge is not available for Windows 8.1.  According to officals docs, minimum supported version is Windows 10 Anniversary Update.

The Desktop Bridge was introduced in Windows 10, version 1607, and it
  can only be used in projects that target Windows 10 Anniversary
  Edition (10.0; Build 14393) or a later release in Visual Studio.
