Port WP7 app to Windows 8

---

Hello,

I want to port my existing WP7 app (C# + XAML) to a Windows 8 Metro Style App and of course I would like to reuse as much code as possible.

What would be the best way to start? Should I just install the WP7 developer tools on top of Windows 8 x64 with Dev Tools? Will this allow me to debug my projects for both Windows 8 and WP7 (using the WP7 emulator)?

Furthermore I found this link from Microsoft:

Any further links would also be welcome.

I think this link answers some of your questions.

As for what OS should you install the developer tools on, I would think it is up to you. If you decide to install onto Windows 8, just remember that Windows 8 is still under development, and that it may not be stable. (In other words running your tools and applications on it may not be as easy as you would like them to be.)
