    Has anyone tried to run a Microsoft Surface 2 Windows RT app (already compiled existing RT app from a couple of years ago) on a RPi on Windows IoT?

    Hi mjmeans,

    While RT devices did target ARM chipsets you would likely need to port the app to UWP and check API availability as aluded to by Cyberh0me.

    I was wondering about that because UWP API is essentially a superset of RT API.

    UWP was first introduced with Windows 10 and older metro style apps need modifications to migrate to UWP

    ...and UWP on IoT Core offers a smaller subset as it does not include a shell.
