Microsoft today released the first preview of Windows Universal App platform that will be shipped as part of Windows 10 later this year. You can download the latest tools to get started with the development by following the instructions below.
Instructions:

- If you’re running CTP5 or earlier, uninstall your previous version of Visual Studio 2015.
