Hello,

you could find the way to migrate your app here:

Migrate your C#/VB Windows Store 8.1 or Windows Phone 8.1 apps to use the Universal Windows Platform

Hi Vshal Jagatap,

Welcome to the Developing Universal Windows apps forum!

Please read the sticky posts, especially the Guide to posting: subject line tags and Known Issues for Windows 10 SDK and Tools

>>so for targeting both the platform what should I do?

If you want to let your app target on both platform, currently your Universal Windows 8.1 app is enough, it can run on Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 platform, but in this way you can not enjoy the new feature of the Windows 10. But if you want to enjoy the new feature of the Windows 10, you may need two projects, one is for the Windows 8.1 app, the other is for the UWP app in Windows 10.
