Is it possibility to create windows universal app for windows 10 in Visual Studio 2013? Should I install some kind of SDK, and after that everything will be ok or I have to use VS2015?
VS2013 won't work, you have to use VS2015.
You can run VS2015 on Windows 10, Windows 8.1 or Windows 7 to create Windows 10 apps.
Make sure to install the components for Windows Universal App Development during the installation of VS 2015. VS 2015 can be installed side by side with VS 2013.
More info can be found on MSDN
No need to have 2015. Not everyone is having this.
If you are using a different development environment than Visual Studio 2015, you can download a standalone Windows SDK for Windows 10 installer. Note that you don’t need to install this SDK if you’re using Visual Studio 2015 Update 3 – it's already included.

I recently installed windows 10 software development kit for Fall Creators update (10.0.16299.15). I used the .exe installer from this link (Windows 10 SDK). But in Visual Studio 2015, while creating new blank Universal Windows App in C# or C++, Target Version doesn't show this SDK as an option.!
Note: I use Windows 10 Home - Version 1709 (OS Build 16299.19)
Visual Studio 2017 is required for developing UWP applications for Windows builds 15063 or higher, see this.
Xamarin requires VS 2015 for its free version. Unfortunately, VS 2015 is not compatible with Windows 7. I've also tried to download Xamarin Studio but it seems it's no longer available for Windows.
Is there any way to install Xamarin in Windows 7?
Visual Studio 2015 is compatible with Windows 7 Service Pack 1; you can check the system requirements here. Furthermore, Xamarin is also compatible with lower versions of Visual Studio 2015. You can check Xamarin system requirements here.
Good day, I'am trying to install express 2013 with update 2 for Windows in order to run Xamarin.Forms ... The error I'm currently receiving are "This version of Visual Studio requires a computer with a newer version of Windows". My operating system are currently running Windows 7 professional.. Is it required to have Windows 8 to install Express 2013 with Update 2?
EDIT: I've was able to install microsoft visual express 2013 for desktop at http://www.microsoft.com/en-my/download/details.aspx?id=40787
As illustrated in the download link,

Windows 8 is required if you want to install this update. This is expected, as this update primarily targets Windows Store and Windows Phone apps.
To play with Xamarin.Forms, you can solely use Xamarin Studio. Note that to use Xamarin.Forms in Visual Studio, you usually need Visual Studio Professional editions. Express editions do not allow any third party add-ons to be installed, so you won't get Xamarin bits there.
no not required to upgrade to windows 8....check the recruitment for visual studio and installation details at Microsoft.com
Does anyone know how to develop for Windows Phone 7, with Visual Studio 2013 (thus without installing Visual Studio 2010) on Windows 8.1 RTM?
I've checked the WP8.0 box when I was installing Visual Studio 2013, but it does not provide me the 7.1 SDK which is needed for my solution.
It would be great if I could do it without installing Visual Studio 2010. :D
Thank you in advance :-)
The Windows Phone 8.0 SDK include the ability to create apps for 7.1 and 8.0 so there should be no need to install the 7.1 SDK.
HOWEVER
Developing apps for 7.x is not supported in Visual Studio 2013.
If you must target 7.x devices you'll need to use VS2010 or VS2012.
If you want o build for Windows Phone 7.x you should use Visual Studio 2012. You can install this AND Visual Studio 2013 on the same machine. The only thing you may not end up being able to do is having a single solution with all projects in that you can use in both versions of VS.
I am new to the windows phone development, and I am struggling to get everything installed related to the windows phone development tools. I had already MS Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate - ENU with SP1 installed on my machine (with Windows 7 Enterprise + Windows 7 SP1). I installed the Windows Phone SDK 7.1 (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=27570), and then Windows Phone Developer Tools RTW successfully. But when I tried to open Visual Studio, it said that only a few Visual Studio components had Visual Studio SP1, and in order to open the Visual Studio I had to install the complete Visual Studio SP1. So then I reinstalled the Visual Studio SP1 and the Visual Studio started working fine.
Now I have MS Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate - ENU with SP1, Windows Phone SDK 7.1, and Windows Phone Developer Tools RTW installed on my machine, but when I try to install Windows Phone Developer Tools January 2011 Update, following error message is displayed:
"The update patch cannot be installed by the windows installer service because the program to be upgraded may be missing, or the upgrade patch may update a different version of the program. Verify that the program to be upgraded exists on your computer and that you have the correct upgrade patch."
I have verified everything. Does anyone know what am I doing wrong?
Try uninstalling the developer tools completely then install dev tools rtw followed by patch and then sdk
I guess something goes wrong with your Visual Studio SP1 installation, so to uninstall all the developer tools and then doing the fresh installation would be the good Idea.
You can do the installation in this sequence..
Win 7 SP1
Visual Studio
Visual Studio SP1
WP7 developer tools
WP developer tools update
Hope it helps.
That update that is throwing an error is not required. The order of installation is detailed on this page: http://create.msdn.com/en-us/resources/downloads
You want to be installing the SDK 7.1 and then the SDK 7.1.1 update.
There's no need for you to uninstall Visual Studio here.
