Q:

Can I deploy a Windows Phone 7.1app from VS2010 to a Windows Phone 8 device?

I have been developing applications for Windows Phone 7.1 using VS2010 on Windows 7.  I have just picked up a Nokia Lumia 920 (Windows Phone 8), but do not seem to be able to deploy the app to the phone.
Has anybody been able to deploy from VS2010 to a Windows Phone 8 device, and are there any tricks to it?

A:

No it is not possible. There is no alternatives available to achieve this in VS 2010
