I have installed Windows Phone 8.0 SDK with VS 2012 Express, and also a VS2013 Pro with Blend v12. How can I create windows phone mockups in the Blend, because I don't see this type of project in the Blend New Project dialog ?
Since Windows Phone does not support WPF the way to built a Windows Phone app using VS2012 version of Blend would be either as a standard Silverlight project or downloading and installing the Windows 8 Phone SDK. (link below)

I've built a C# VS 2015 Forms App for Win10 but the customer would like version(s) for Win7 and Win8. I can download VS 2013 which should take care of Win8 but I am unsure what to so with for Win7. Apparently plenty of people till use Win7 in the music App world.
don't create windows universal app or windows metro app, just create windows Form application or WPF application using don.net framework 3.5. That will run every platform you have mentioned
I am trying to create my first Store app for Windows 8.
I installed VS2015 RC and the Windows Software Development Kit for Windows 8 (I followed the instructions at this page).
Unfortunately I can't see the Windows Apps templates in VS, differently from what the link shows .
I am running VS2015 Enterprise RC on a Windows 7 machine.
What am I missing? Thank you
Minimum required OS for developing Windows Store Apps is Windows 8. With Windows 7 you wont be able to develop Store apps.
I would like to create a portable library class targeting Windows Phone 8 from a Windows 2008 R2 machine with Visual Studio 2010 on it and without Windows Phone 8.0 SDK installed.
From Visual Studio 2010, there are only these options available:
Is there a multi-target package for Visual Studio to install that supports Windows Phone 8 target framework?
Note:
Since Windows Phone SDK 8 requires Windows 8, it can't be installed on this kind of development workstation (back-end oriented).
I think it is not possible. WP8 requires VS2012 and Windows 8. I got the same problem in the past.
You don't need the WP8 SDK specifically. The simplest thing to do would be to use Visual Studio 2012 Update 2 or later. You may also be able to install a later version of the Portable Library Tools for VS 2010 to get most of the PCL WP8 support.
I want to program a mockup of a Windows Phone application. I installed the WP8 SDK but the software Microsoft Expression Blend 4 doesn't show me Windows Phone. Do you have any idea how can I could solve this problem?
Expression blend 4 generally had support for windows phone 7. With WP8 microsoft shifted to Blend for visual studio. See this link ANNOUNCING WINDOWS PHONE 8 SDK
The short story is: I have my laptop that has a processor without Virtualization and Second Level Adress Translation capabilities that are required for running the new Windows Phone 8 SDK.
I can however use the windows phone 7.1 sdk, but for testing my apps i will use a windows phone 8 device.
Is it possible to deploy and test my apps on the connected WP8 device, altough i am using the 7.1 SDK that predates the WP8 os?
I don't think it's possible to deploy apps using WP7.1 SDK on WP8 devices, however, you can install the Visual Studio 2012 + Windows Phone 8 SDK (if you have Windows 8 x64) even when you don't have SLAT enabled CPU. The Windows Phone 8 SDK will work, only you won't be able to launch the WP8 emulator.
No you cannot, The .xap packing mechanism in Windows phone 7.1 and 8 are different so you cannot deploy this xap using deployment tool. But, if we are using windows 8 + wp8 dev tools you can debug the application that developed on 7.1. In future after the launch of wp 7.8 ms may provide a solution for this. for now there is no other alternative is available in front of you
