Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 API changes issue

I have a full fledged app built for windows 8.1...
Through my research, I discovered that the api changes between 8.1 and 10 is nt that much and an app built for 8.1 will work on 10..
So my question now is will a windows 10 app work on windows 8.1?
If yes, how can I go about it?
I've created a report on changes for WinAPI 8 vs WinAPI 10 that may help you to discover differences in details. It's available on this page. The report is generated with the help of the ABI-CC tool.
Since apps built for WP8.1 don't work on WP8, then I doubt that Windows 10 Mobile apps will work on WP8.1. As far as I'm aware, there are more differences between those two systems' API than between 8.1 and 8.0
Btw, are you asking about the desktop systems or the mobile ones (as the tag you used suggests)?

Does Windows 7 with platform update support desktop duplication?

The articles in MSDN are misleading and doesn't provide a clear answer whether or not Windows 7 with platform update will support desktop duplication.
Did anyone know if this is possible? I am developing an application for desktop streaming, I currently use mirror driver for windows 7, but i am looking for a common solution for windows 7 and windows 8.
I have win8 SDK and VS2010 for development.
Platform Update for Windows 7 on MSDN answers this question explicitly (highlights added)
Some new methods introduced in DGXI 1.2 are not fully supported with the Platform Update for Windows 7.You can test for the availability of these functions by calling them directly and checking for an error code. Make sure your applications targeting Windows 7 with the platform update have a fallback in place when the desired functionality is unavailable. These classes of features are unavailable on Platform Update for Windows 7:

Obfuscate Windows Phone 8 dll

I need to obfuscate a Windows Phone 8 dll.
I tried the "PreEmptive Dotfuscator" available in Visual Studio 2012. I added the .dll But it fails.
Is there any other free tool to obfuscate?
Thanks
SRS
You can try DeepSea Obfuscator (version over 4.3), which works fine for me.

Can we develop VB6.0 applications in Windows? Is it supported by Microsoft? If supported please give the support agreement link from Microsoft?
I will repeat the excellent comments in answer format:
VB6 IDE
You can use the VB6 IDE on Windows 7 (even 64-bit).
But the IDE is not supported at all, on Windows 7 or anywhere else. If you do have problems with the IDE, Microsoft will not help you.
VB6 Runtime
The VB6 runtime is supported on all current versions of Windows including 7 and 8, 32-bit and 64-bit. If you have problems running a program built with VB6, you can ask Microsoft for help. There may be a fee.

Windows 7 Ribbon UI Win32 API Code

I'm a big fan of "Pure Win32 API Code". I use Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 and I'm surprised with it's Ribbon UI. Can we do that in Pure Win32 API? I don't mind complex coding... I use Code::Blocks with MinGW, installed with TDM-GCC 4.6.1_1. Please help...
Ribbon is available as a native control in Windows 7 and Windows Vista with Platform Upgrade installed. The API is COM-based (like many other recent API additions).
See Windows Ribbon Framework in MSDN for complete documentation.
I got that working. I removed MinGW and installed Windows 7 SDK. Code::Blocks integrates well with it. Now I'm enjoying new APIs in Windows 7. Thanks everyone for your answers.
