Windows Phone 8.1 Emulator in Windows 10

I can't install the windows phone 8.1 emulator on my VS2015 in Windows 10. VS tells me that I need Windows 8.1 with Hyper-V.

Is it possible to install Windows Phone 8.1 Emulator in Visual Studio 2015 in Windows 10?

Solution

  • Yes.

    Turn on virtualization on your bios settings, so you can enable Hyper-V.

    I had no problem installing it on the same setup as you.
