Can you have a universal app that targets Windows 10 and 8.1?

I have a universal app for Windows 8.1 and Phone 8.1 and am looking to make the jump to Windows 10.
Looking at the guides, I need to recreate the projects, but does this mean this new project will only work on Windows 10?
What is the strategy for this setup? Keep a Windows 8.1 version and a Windows 10 version? Or does the Windows 10 version work on 8.1?
You can't.
Windows 10 introduces several new API and also included old API's those work in Windows 8. but you just simply can't run Windows 10 app in Windows 8 environment.
if you look at this site: http://www.jayway.com/2015/06/16/do-windows-8-apps-run-on-windows-10/
he tells us that Win 8 app runs Win 10 but lack of some feature such as charm bar and splash screen.
of course this concerns many developer but in my honest opinion, you should just move on to developing app for windows 10. everyone will upgrade, eventually.
there's so many advantages for developing win 10 app, one of them is your app will run on broader device and market.

Develop Windows 8.0/8.1 app from already existing IBM Worklight Project

I need to create a Windows Phone 8.0 as well as Windows Phone 8.1 app from already developed IBM Worklight(6.1) Project. Is there any document that elucidates end to end solution to do that? Also could you please elucidate tools/plugins required?
To your existing MFP/Worklight project, you can add the Windows Phone environment. This will generate the Visual Studio project for Windows Phone. The same app can be run on Windows Phone 8.0 and 8.1.
The following getting started modules give you an overview of whats needed to develop a Windows Phone app.

Develop a windows store app for Windows 8 and Windows 8.1

is it possible to develop an app for windows 8 and it will run on windows 8.1 normally? what about the validation in the store? and its visibility in the store for users who have windows 8.1 on their pcs?
why visual studio 2013 professional version is supported by windows 8 and not visual studio 2013 express edition for windows?
if we developp a library in windows phone 8, could we reuse it in Windows 8.1 application? (specifically its validation in the store?)
thx for ur answers
Will a Win8 app run on Win8.1?
Check this question here on SO: Migration Windows Store App based on 8.1. does it has backward compatibility with 8?
Basically, the answer is YES. But not the other way around. Windows 8.1 apps will not work on Windows 8. So the visibility in the store depends on the targeted version of the app and the version that is running. Win 8.1 users will see both and Win 8 users only see Win 8 apps.
VS2013 Express on Windows 8.1 only?
Depends on the type of VS you want. Check the Visual Studio Express page and decide which version you want. For example Express 2013 for Windows will only work on Windows 8.1, while Express 2013 for Windows Desktop will also work on Windows 8.
Windows Phone 8 to Windows 8?
Channel9 Always had interesting posts about development and for this case too. Check the page Building Apps for Both Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8 Jump Start for more information about developing for both platforms.
Hope this helps! :)

Can't deploy Windows 8.1 application to Window 8 device

I am working on Windows 8.1 application and i have a device with Windows 8 OS. It seems many 8.1 applications can install in Windows 8 device from the store with a warning that "It will work better with Windows 8.1' .It is showing some error with certification When i try to deploy my Windows 8.1 app to the Windows 8 device . So want to know that is it possible to install Windows 8.1 app in Windows 8 machine? Must i upgrade the device OS to Window 8.1 before deploying ? What i need to deploy Windows 8.1 application in Windows 8 device?
Using Visual Studio 2013 in Windows 8.1 you can develop apps for two platform versions:
Windows 8
Windows 8.1
Apps targeted for Windows 8 will run in both, Windows 8 and Windows 8.1. Apps targeted for Windows 8.1 will only run in Windows 8.1
You can find the target platform version of your app by right clicking in the app project and then clicking in Application tab. There you will find the Target Platform Version.
When an app is published in the Windows Store, developers have the option to upload two packages, one for each platform version. It is almost sure that the Windows 8.1 version will be better than the Windows 8 version, since the APIs for 8.1 are better :)

You can't. Install Visual Studio Express 2012 for Windows Phone - it is free
http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/eng/products/visual-studio-express-for-windows-phone
1) You can start emulator with following command line:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft XDE\8.0\xde.exe" /name "Emulator WVGA 512MB.username"
where username is your windows username.
2 & 3) You can deploy/run/delete apps using solution described in JustinAngel's answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/13429709/2087252 .
To make it work you'll need to reference following dlls from your project:
Microsoft.Smartdevice.Connectivity.Interface.dll
Microsoft.Smartdevice.Connectivity.dll
Microsoft.Smartdevice.MultiTargeting.Connectivity.dll
