So I’ve been working on some ideas on cross platform .NET development using Visual Studio 2015 and Xamarin. I have the Windows UWP application working fine on Windows 10 but wanted to see how it would look on Windows 10 phone – surprisingly I found the Windows 10 phone emulator didn’t exist as part of the Visual Studio installation (possibly I missed a check box when install or the likes) but it’s easy enough to get.

Just go to Downloads and tools for Windows 10 in the Other download options section there’s a Download the emulator link. From here we can download and install the Windows 10 mobile emulator.

Take a look as Test with the Microsoft Emulator for Windows 10 Mobile Test with the Microsoft Emulator for Windows 10 Mobile also which gives some useful information on using the emulator in different scenarios/configurations.
