Universal app emulator?
Please read carefully before replying.
I have read here that a developer can use an emulator included in Microsoft Visual Studio to test his universal (modern interface, Windows Store) apps, even if he is running Windows 7 on his computer. This is interesting as there are some Windows Store games I would like to play in an old notebook running Windows 7 which cannot be upgraded to Windows 8 or 10 (no NX/PAE support). Of course installing the whole Visual Studio is not practical, just to play some games! Is there a way to install only the emulator? Or is there any third-party emulator for running universal apps on Windows 7? What are the system requirements? Assuming there is an emulator, how can I transfer the game from Windows 10 to Windows 7? Can I copy it to a USB Flash drive and install it somehow? Or can I access Windows Store through the emulator and install it in Windows 7?
Thank you in advance.
PS: Please don't reply "it cannot be done", read link first. At least explain why it cannot be done.
