I have to create windows phone 7 or 8. I installed visual studio 2013. It came with windows phone SDK.
I have problem. I have Windows 8.1 pro OS. But my processor does not support Hyper-V platform. I did enable BIOS settings. Even though i did not get this.
Any alternative way to test or debug app in emulator.
Any idea or suggestion should help me a lot.
Thanks in advance.
make sure you have enable hyper V from control panel also.
The best alternative would be to test your app on an actual device (this does not require Hyper-V). For more information have a look at this discussion.
Not the most convenient way, but simple and it's working:
You need to register account at developer.nokia.com and follow this link http://developer.nokia.com/resources/remote-device-access. You'll find list of devices that you can use for testing your apps. Just choose one of them and reserve it and use it as you want!

I found this link (Project My Screen).
However, I really want to control a Windows Phone from another Windows 8 or Windows 10 device.
Can I do this?
If not then how can I?
There are no APIs that allow for this. WinRT doesn't have them, and it would require very low-level access to make this happen.
I saw state and notification broker for Windows Mobile, but I can't find anything like it for Windows 8.
I found this for the older OS:

Didn't see anything on MSDN. Where can I start on this?
I don't care which language. I have a Nokia if it matters.
EDIT: Does this mean I can't build one?

These APIs are not exposed to third-party developers.
You can not do this unless you are a OEM. Only OEMs have this functionality enabled for them. For normal developers such API does not exist for Windows Phone. Only partners with Microsoft can download the source code or view it.
Using Microsoft Windows 7 and either Visual studio 2010 or 2012, how should I program for Windows Phone 8?
Assuming it is not possible, when does Microsoft plan to fix that?
Asked a different but related question, and got this answer, which if correct gives me the answer I was looking for.
You can't - you'll need Windows 8 64-bit to develop for Windows Phone 8, and additionally you'll want the Professional version of Windows 8 to leverage the emulator.
See http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35471 for details.
I don't think the following is a recommended approach but I don't see any compelling reason for why that is so feel free to read on.
According to this answer it seems that you can make programs that are runnable on Windows Phone 8 (WP8) although it won't have all the features but probably most, and maybe the developer experience will not be the same. Also it does not seem to be an officially supported way ( I am not sure about that point ).
So it seems like you could use SDK 7.1 for example and update it to SDK 7.8. According to the System Requirements it runs on Windows 7. Keep in mind that I don't know if it is officially supported.
I'd like to copy some images to the windows phone 8 emulator, but can't seem to find a way to do this.
I was hoping when the emulator was running I would be able to access certain directorys via windows as per a real device.
Any ideas, I can't help thinking I'm missing something.
Cheers
I recently detailed how to do that in that blog post:
How to add images on the Windows Phone emulator
Check power tools.You can copy images with this tool.

It is somehow possible to observe foreground applications in Windows Phone 8?
Observe the name of the opened app and maybe time of opening and closing.
Thanks a lot in advance.
There's no API in the WP8 SDK that would return that information. If that's a feature you'd like to see in future releases go to the wpdev uservoice, explain you usecase and get developers to vote on it.
