For developing apps for Windows 10 you need to do some setup


You have installed or upgraded to Windows 10 and now you want to develop apps for Windows 10 using a JavaScript template. With Windows 10 you can develop it once and then you can deploy to various devices. However to do this you need to get ready with developer mode. This post shows how (this assumes you are using Visual Studio 2015 Community).

Launch Visual Studio 2015 Community. Create a blank Universal Windows app using Javascript template in VS Community 2015.
