...and more, **without having to rewrite your app!**
* Use your current installer *(no requirement to use MSIX, but there are [reliability/security benefits to using MSIX](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/msix/overview#key-features)!)*
* 100% additive *(only add what you need, leave the rest of your app as-is)*
* Works with Win32, WPF, WinForms, and more apps
Plus, **create beautiful, modern apps for Windows 11 that are backwards compatible** to Windows 10 October 2018 Update (build 17763 / version 1809)!
* 0.8 Stable requires using [MSIX](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/msix/overview), but unpackaged apps can [try the 0.8 Experimental release](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/apps/windows-app-sdk/deploy-unpackaged-apps)!
* 0.8 Stable only includes WinUI 3 / Text rendering / Resource management
* WinUI 3 currently cannot be added to existing WPF/WinForms/etc apps *(we'll enable that in a future release via XAML Islands).*
*\*\* - WinUI 3 in 0.8 and 1.0 is only supported for use by full WinUI 3 apps. You'll be able to use WinUI 3 in WPF/WinForms/other apps in a future release via XAML Islands.*
