title: Xamarin native windows app development on visual studio 2017
body: <p>I have installed visual studio 2017 in my windows machine and I have installed <code>Xamarin</code> along with that, but when I am creating <code>Xamarin</code> native in visual studio I am getting <code>project.iOS</code> and <code>project.Android</code> but there is nothing for windows. If <code>project.winphone</code> is not available I was hoping <code>project.uwp</code> will be available. </p>

  <p>Am I missing any windows SDK? Do I have to install separately?</p>
  
  <p>If anybody explain with some details it'd be very good for people who are starting up in <code>Xamarin</code> windows app development.</p>
