@batmaci, Better is to enable Hyper-V. and use Visual Studio Emulator for Android

Then you can make use of :

  1. Visual Studio Emulator for Android : It works perfectly with Xamarin Studio too. Fast, x86, Sensor simulators, available with VS2015. Deploy, test and debug Android apps with our fast, free, and best-of-breed Android emulator

  2. Windows Phone Emulator for Windows Phone 8 : Windows Phone Emulator is a desktop application that emulates a Windows Phone device. It provides a virtualized environment in which you can debug and test Windows Phone apps without a physical device. It also provides an isolated environment for your application prototypes.

Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 Express Download

I've downloaded and installed wpsdkv80enu1.iso from It is Windows Phone SDK 8.0 and Emulator and it. Download previous versions of Visual Studio Community, Professional, and Enterprise softwares. Sign into your Visual Studio (MSDN) subscription here. Visual Studio Express 2015 for Windows 10. Visual Studio Express 2015 for Web. Visual Studio Express 2015 for Windows Desktop. Web Installer. Feb 16, 2016  Updating to Windows 10 broke my Visual Studio Express 2013's Windows Phone 8.1 emulators so I figured I'd install the Visual Studio 2015 Community edition. I also uninstalled all of the Windows Phone SDK's and emulators, figuring I'd start with a clean install.

I have a Macbook Air 2015 256GB. First i have no plan using VS running on my Macbook. But then, my job - as a student - require me to learn VS. I have no plan to spend my money to buy Windows PC. So, i decide to run Bootcamp and run Windows 10 + VS for Windows Phone development included the Emulator. The Windows Phone 8.1 Update Emulators package adds additional emulator images to an existing installation of Visual Studio 2015 or Visual Studio 2013 Update 2 or later. With this update installed, you can create and test apps that will run on devices that have Windows Phone 8.1 Update.

If you use Xamarin Android Player, it uses VirtualBox which will work only if you disable all other hypervisors. For Windows Phone Emulator you must need Hyper-V enabled.

In your case you want both Windows and Android emulators, so i prefer you to enable Hyper-V and make use of VS Android and Windows Emulator. which works well together and Hyper-V compatible.

    @MikeNowak i thought you were talking about the development platform.

    About the OS.
    You can not develop a Windows Phone 8/8.1 app using Windows 7.
    If you wont targeting Windows Modern 8/8.1 and Windows 10 UWP, Windows 7 is ok.
    So your app needs to be a Windows Forms or WPF application.

    Windows 10 is the best Microsoft OS and it is a free upgrade from Windows 7.

    About PCL.
    There are fewer features in the PCL than in a 'complete' Class Library.

    I believe that in mobile apps, it is ok. PCL is good enough.

    What you can not do with the PCL, you must do in the platform project.

    You can develop UWP (win 10) on windows 7 but you will need to remote debug on a windows 10 device. If it is possible I would recommend upgrading to windows 10 also
