As the launch of Windows 10 to the general public comes closer and closer, Microsoft has begun releasing a number of tools in order to make the lives of developers working with Windows 10 a little easier.

The most recent of these to be released is the Windows 10 Deployment Application tool. In the words of Microsoft it is a

“command line utility that can be utilized to deploy a Universal Windows app from a Windows 10 PC to any Windows 10 mobile device. It allows users to deploy an .AppX to a device connected through USB or available on the same subnet without requiring access to the complete Visual Studio solution”

In effect, it is designed to help streamline the process of side-loading apps from a Windows 10 PC to a Windows 10 Mobile device. Microsoft has been going all out to court developers for its new platform, attempting to make their jobs easier at every turn, and this is another prime example of this trend. The tool comes included in the Windows 10 SDK for developers.

Will you be making use of this tool? Let us know in the comments below.

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.
