All windows apps will be compatible with windows 10 pro. Windows mobile will only run universal apps witch these apps will be. So in other words if you have A pc you will be able to run all the desktop apps you do now and the new universal apps and as I said this is a bridge for universal apps. Hth

Microsoft brings Android, iOS apps to Windows 10 I'm certainly no expert on this, but being a programmer, it sounds to me like the only difference is that now app developers will be able to develop apps from Windows which will run on Windows phone and iOS and other mobile devices. I doubt it has anything to do with it being compatible with, say Windows 8 or 10. Maybe I'm wrong though.
