== Development platform ==
Windows 10 supports an extension of the [[Windows Runtime]] platform introduced by [[Windows 8]] known as the Universal Windows Platform (UWP). UWP emphasizes a core set of [[API]]s common to all variations of the operating system, enabling the ability to code a single application with adaptations (such as user interface differences) for different device families and states, including desktops and laptops, tablets, smartphones (via [[Windows 10 Mobile]]), [[Xbox One]], and other new device classes such as [[Surface Hub]] and [[HoloLens]]. An application may also [[Responsive design|react]] to the available displays and input on a device; when connected to a monitor or a suitable [[docking station]], a UWP app on a smartphone can take on the appearance of the app on a PC. Information can also be synchronized between versions of an app for different devices, such as notifications and [[software license|licensing]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://blogs.windows.com/buildingapps/2015/03/02/a-first-look-at-the-windows-10-universal-app-platform/ |title=A first look at the Windows 10 universal app platform |last1=Kevin |first1=Gallo |date=March 2, 2015 |website=Windows Blog |publisher=Microsoft |access-date=March 9, 2015}}</ref><ref name=ars-w10universal>{{cite web |title=Our first look at Windows 10 on phones, and Universal Apps for touchscreens |url=http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2015/01/our-first-look-at-windows-10-on-phones-and-universal-apps-for-touchscreens/ |website=Ars Technica |accessdate=February 7, 2015}}</ref><ref name=msdn-uwp>{{cite web|title=Guide to Universal Windows Platform (UWP) apps|url=https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn894631.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396|website=MSDN|publisher=Microsoft|accessdate=12 August 2015}}</ref>
 
Windows 10 also allows [[web app]]s and desktop software (using either [[Win32]] or [[.NET Framework]]), to be packaged for distribution on [[Windows Store]]. Desktop software distributed through Windows Store is packaged using the [[App-V]] system to allow [[sandbox (computer security)|sandboxing]]. Web apps are executed from remote servers, and have access to Windows functions such as notifications and camera access. As with Windows 8, locally-packaged apps can still be written using [[HTML]] and [[JavaScript]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2015/03/microsofts-next-attempt-to-fill-the-windows-10-app-gap-web-app-apps/ |title=Microsoft's next attempt to fill the Windows 10 app gap: Web app apps |last1=Peter |first1=Bright |date=March 3, 2015 |website=Ars Technica |publisher=Condé Nast |access-date=March 9, 2015}}</ref><ref name=zdnet-appvappgap>{{cite web|title=Here's how Microsoft hopes to get Android and iOS phone apps into its Windows 10 Store|url=http://www.zdnet.com/article/heres-how-microsoft-hopes-to-get-android-and-ios-phone-apps-into-its-windows-10-store/|website=ZDNet|accessdate=May 3, 2015}}</ref>
