hm, very limited, maybe. There is actually no public Win32 for the platforms you have in mind, I think, but a subset is common with UWP. However, it's not emulated... and probably nearly all of Win32 are standing right there, only you just can't use it...
For ex in Win8 RT the whole (or nearly whole) Win32 was there and could even be used by a non-Windows program: Office.
- Const-me 10y agoYeah, I know there was classic Win32 environment on Windows 8 RT, just it wasn’t public. However we’re talking about UWP apps here, Windows 8 is unrelated. And there’s no Win32 environment on Windows Mobile 10, or Windows 10 IoT Core.
- xorblurb 10y agoI don't think there is any emulation of Win32 either? You just have some of the functions; those that are part of UWP.
