Personally, I would recommend leaving those apps on .NET Framework at least until Visual Studio has much better design-time support for these legacy app models.

Most of this chapter will cover UWP apps that use the modern Windows Runtime and can execute apps built using a custom version of .NET Core 2.0 that compiles to .NET Native.
