10 Step 1 – Convert the App Immediate Benefits:
Universal App Package Immediate Benefits: Modern deployment technology for all apps Seamless updates, clean uninstall Monetize via Windows Store or other distribution of choice Runs your current code Small amount of code changes needed (if any) Classic Windows App

11 How does it work? Deployment Solving “DLL Hell” and “Registry Bloat”
9/13/2018 2:24 AM How does it work? Deployment Uses Universal Windows Platform deployment stack Extensions for required Win32 extension points Shell extensions (e.g. file type associations) Solving “DLL Hell” and “Registry Bloat” Registry redirection / merging Filesystem redirection / merging Write redirect for certain directories Same code will continue work on Windows 7, 8, etc. © 2016 Microsoft Corporation.

Universal App Package Feature Examples: Live Tile support Actionable Notifications Cortana etc. Classic Windows App Universal Windows API

14 Continue the Migration to UWP
Do anything a UWP app can do Take advantage of more UWP APIs Take advantage of app services, background tasks & triggers Migrate UI to XAML Configuration Security Management Updates Natural User Inputs One SDK + Tooling Cloud Services One Store + One Dev Center Adaptive User Interface Holographic Xbox Devices +IoT Surface Hub Mobile PC

15 Step 3 – Add a UWP Component
Universal App Package Feature Examples: XAML UI front end Background tasks File Picker UI Runs in the App Container Communication via AppService Each one could activate the other: i.e. Cortana activation Secondary tile Classic Windows App Universal Windows App

16 Step 4 – Migrate code to UWP
Universal App Package Move UWP Compatible code/components into the App Container Classic Windows App Universal Windows App

17 Step 5 – Fully UWP Move remaining code into the App Container
Universal App Package Move remaining code into the App Container Run everywhere PC Mobile Xbox One HoloLens etc. Universal Windows App

18 Call to Action Visit aka.ms/uwpextensions to learn more about UWP extensions – i.e. to register File Types without using registry Documentation for new extensions coming soon!
