Thank you
No to both questions.
It is not possible to run Windows apps on Windows Phone. This is regardless of the versions of either.
If it not possible to install the SDK for "Windows Phone 8.0" on a Windows 7 machine. (system requiements)
However, according to the system requirements you can install the 8.1 SDK on Windows 7
Note also though that Windows 7 is out of support in a few months (on 13/01/2015) so you should probably consider upgrading. Especially as the 8.1 SDK lets you build "universal" apps for Windows 8.1 and Windows Phone 8.1

I have windows 8.1 and right now Visual Studio 2015 is installing on my machine. Can I develop universal windows apps UWA for windows 10 from my windows 8.1 ?
If worth mentioning, I have another machine with windows 10 at home, and I think I read somewhere before I can use the other machine remotely to test my apps but I have been looking without finding how to do so.
Actually, this is possible. We can develop Universal Windows apps with Visual Studio 2015 on Windows 8.1 and test them on a remote Windows 10 device.
For more info, please see Requirements in Develop apps for the Universal Windows Platform (UWP)
Windows 8.1 and Windows 7 support
If you choose to develop Universal Windows apps with Visual Studio 2015 on a platform other than Windows 10, these are the restrictions:
Windows 8.1: You can’t run the app locally (only on a remote Windows 10 device). You can use the emulators in Visual Studio, but not the simulator.
Windows 7: You can’t run the app locally (only on a remote Windows 10 device). You can’t use the emulators or the simulator in Visual Studio either.
And for test on remote devices, please see Specifying a remote device in Deploying and debugging Universal Windows Platform (UWP) apps.
However, when using OS earlier than Windows 10, some Visual Studio features for Windows Universal development may be degraded, such as you can't use the XAML designer on Windows 8.1:
For a better experience of developing Windows Universal Apps, Windows 10 is strongly recommended.
This is not possible. You need Windows 10 to develop Windows 10 UWP apps.
1. Get Windows 10
To develop UWP apps, you need the latest version of Windows.
I own a Windows 7 (Home Premium) and Visual Studio 2013.
As a part of a project for Uni, we are required to write an application for Windows Phone, basically - they require for Windows Phone 8, but I even think that Windows Phone 7 will do.
My question is this:
Other than installing Visual Studio 2012 + WindowsPhone7 SDK or Installing Windows 8 and Visual Studio 2013, or using a VM with one of these -
Is there a way to develop for Windows Phone 7 or 8, under Windows 7???
I don't currently have a physical windows phone and will have to use an emulator for that.
Windows phone 8/windows store apps under windows 7 OS is not possible, you need a windows 8 OS
You can develop for windows phone 8/windows phone 7 (7.1) with windows 8 OS
Windows 7 OS obviously supports windows phone 7 development
See this post
there are other hardware requirements such as Hyper V for windows phone 8 emulator support in windows 8 OS
Hy,
You can keep both versions of VisualStudio on the same machine, but keep in mind that if you want to develop applications for Windows8 or WindowsPhone8 on Windows7 operating systems this is not possible because you miss the new framework WindowsRuntime, so I advise you to keep windows 8 as operating system, VisualStudio 21012 + sdk for WindowsPhone7 and VisualStudio 2013 SDK for windowsphone 8 and developments already built for Windows Phone8.
You cannot develop a WP8 app on Windows 7. You can develop a WP7 app on Windows 7 using VS 2010 plus the WP7 SDKs - WP 7.1 SDK, WP7.1.1 SDK, WP7.8 SDK - http://blogs.windows.com/windows_phone/b/wpdev/archive/2013/01/22/now-available-windows-phone-sdk-update-for-7-8.aspx.
I need to know if I can develop windows phone applications through the vs2012 with my computer
my computer has :
1- windows 7 OS .
2- 32 bit .
3- VS2012 .
I heard that you cannot develop windows phone 8 application through windows 7?
Can I use windows phone 7?
How can I download it ?
Windows Phone 8 development is possible on a Windows 7 OS using Visual Studio 2012. The Windows Phone 8 emulator, however, requires Window 8 64bit to run.
System requirements for Windows Phone Emulator:
The Windows Phone SDK 8.0 setup program checks the prerequisites for running Windows Phone 8 Emulator. It displays warnings if the prerequisites are not present, but it does not require them.
If your computer or your network doesn't support all the requirements for running the emulator, you can still install the SDK and develop apps for Windows Phone 8. You can only debug and test them, however, on a registered Windows Phone 8 phone.
In short, the requirements for writing Windows Phone 8 applications on Windows 7 are:
Visual Studio 2012
Windows Phone 8 SDK
Registered Windows Phone 8 device
Windows Phone Developer Account
is it possible to develop windows 8 phone applications in windows 7 with vs.net 2010?
Or do I need to upgrade to windows 8 altogether?
Windows Phone 8 development possible under windows 7?
No, Windows 8 64-bit and Visual Studio 2012 are required.
Windows 8 Pro is also required to run the emulator (along with a processor that supports SLAT).

You can modify the installation files to allow it to be installed on Windows 7.
Here are the modified setup files for WP8 SDK 9900:
Run InstallWP8SDK.bat to start the installation!

Have fun developing on the good old Windows 7.
Is it possible to get the WindowsPhone 7.1.1 sdk to work with Visual Studio 2012?
Edit: As stated in the title of my question: I wanted to know whether its possible to develop windows phone 7.1.1 apps using Visual Studio 2012.
I already tried installing the SDK and the hotfix but I still can't open Windows Phone 7.1 projects with VS2012. Hence, my question: Am I missing something obvious or is it simply not possbile?
There we go :) --> Windows Phone SDK 8.0
I have both Visual studio 2012 RTM (for Windows 8 store application development) and Windows phone 7.1.1 SDK in my Windows 8 Release Preview and they are working fine.
And like you, I am also waiting for the Windows Phone 8 SDK.(btw, there is no windows phone 7.8 sdk)
UPDATE: This Windows Phone 8.0 SDK link states that "you can install Windows Phone SDK 7.1 (and the WPSDK 7.1.1 Update) and continue to build apps and games that target Windows Phone 7.5. The existing Windows Phone SDK installs side by side with Visual Studio 2012, and you can feel confident that the code you write today will work on Windows Phone 8 devices."
