Build 2016 is officially underway, and we’re live at the event. Microsoft is presenting the latest tools and technologies, and how they can help today’s developers be their most creative and productive.

At the event, Microsoft has announced a converter for Win32 apps and games. This converts regular desktop programs into centennial modern desktop apps which can be submitted to the Windows Store. The app code runs with very minimal changes. It takes an existing installer, be it a .exe or .msi and converts it into a modern desktop app.

Developing Story….

Radu Tyrsina has been a Windows fan ever since he got his first PC, a Pentium III (a monster at that time). For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web. Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they're looking for.
