I am new to "XAML" and "C#". Will I be able to write application running on Windows xp, 7, 8, 8.1, 10 in C#/XAML?
When you create your application, use Net Framework 4.0.

I'm using Windows 10 and Visual Studio 2015. I can test my UWP "Universal Windows" app using the emulator for Windows Phone 8.1 and 10. I can also test it using the simulator for Windows 10. Is it possible to test it using a simulator for Windows 8.1?
*CORRECTION:
I used the wrong terminology. I meant to say Universal Windows app instead of UWP. Yes, a UWP app is for Windows 10 and Windows 10 Mobile only. What I meant is a Universal Windows app targeted for Windows 8.1 and Windows Phone 8.1, that also is capable of being run on Windows 10 and Windows 10 Mobile.
Is the answer still the same?
In fact, Visual Studio's 'emulator' for Windows Desktop is just a virtual instance of installed OS, not an emulator. Thus, you can't use the Win8.1 'emulator' of Visual studio on Windows 10 - because no Win8.1 installed. You should consider another options - like as VM, actual system, etc.
edit - My answer is applicable for Win8.1 Universal App. You can run your Win8.1 Universal app with Win10 or Visual studio Win10 simulator(like as size-different tablet emulation), but Visual Studio Win8.1 simulator is not available on Windows 10.
Windows 8.1 doesn't support UWP apps.
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.

I've created an application with visual studio c# and I've used an localDB.
When I start the application in computer with windows XP, 7 or 8 ( after installation of SQL Server 2014 LocalDB Express from this web site: http://www.microsoft.com/it-it/server-cloud/products/sql-server-editions/sql-server-express.aspx) works fine, but I the OS is win XP Embedded isn't impossible to instal localDB and I can't run my application.
can SomeOne help me?
I think the problem is that your embed win XP isn't ready to run the service AND / OR localDB. First I would update your Win XP asap than try it again.
If this hasn't fixed your issue you might want to use another pc or an embed win 7.

i want to develop windows store apps by using visual studio 2013 in windows 7 operating system.I know that this task is possible if i am using windows 8.1 operating system.but can anyone tell if this is possible with windows 7 OS.
On Windows 7, you need to use VS 2010 (full or express version) to develop for WindowsPhone7 .

I am using Windows 7 Enterprise 64 bit OS. Planning to develop Windows Mobile Apps.
I have Visual Studio 2012.
Is it possible to develop Windows Mobile Apps with these Resources in hand.
It is not possible to develop apps for Windows Phone 8 on a Windows 7 machine, but you can develop apps for Windows Phone 7 on a Windows 7 machine. I have been told that this is due to the fact that the Windows Phone 8 SDK emulator requires specific software as well as hardware to function.
For more information see Getting started with Windows Phone Development and System requirements for Windows Phone Emulator
By Windows Mobile, you mean to say Windows Phone 7 or 8 right? The website of the Windows Phone dev center provides a lot of information on this. What you need:
Developer tools:
You can choose between the SDK 7.1 or 8.0, note that you need the 8.0 SDK to develop for Windows Phone 8. Using the 8.0 SDK you can also develop for Windows Phone 7.5.
Visual Studio:
If you already have Visual Studio 2012 Professional or higher, the SDK templates and tools are integrated into your existing installation of Visual Studio.
Windows:
Please not that the SDK 8.0 requires Windows 8 Pro 64-bit or higher, thus it's not possible to develop apps for WP8 on Windows 7, as stated here:
Windows Phone SDK 8.0 requires 64-bit Windows 8 Pro or higher. You can't develop Windows Phone 8 apps on Windows 7, on Windows Server 2008, or on Windows Server 2012. The Windows Phone 8 Emulator has special hardware, software, and configuration requirements. For more info, see System requirements for Windows Phone Emulator.
However, you can develop WP7.5 apps on your machine, using the 7.11 SDK.
I have a Win7 machine which I installed MVS2013. I'm trying to do a simple Windows Form Application, but it doesn't have the Win 8 style, but the Win 7.
How could I make one which looks like the Win 8 style?
Or, am I doing it right? Because I've heard that Win 8 only work with Apps.
Thanks for your time.
Best regards.
Windows Form Application is what it says and it has outdated look (doesn't even completely keep up with Vista style as it is old technology used on XP, WPF application is the way Windows Vista and above work).
For Windows 8 you must use Windows Store Application project, which can be only launched if you have Visual Studio 2012 or above on Windows 8 or above.
