Change the target system of an existing project

Use the Target System command to change the target system of an existing project.

1. On the Project tab of the ribbon, in the Settings group, click Target System.

   A list of available target systems is displayed, grouped under the Windows and Embedded target platforms.

2. In the list, select the new target system for the project.

   The target system determines how many tags you can use in your project, among other things. For more information, see About target platforms, product types, and target systems.

Your project is converted to the selected target system.

If you changed from the Windows target platform to the Embedded target platform, some project features will no longer be available. Those features are automatically hidden in the project development environment in order to prevent you from developing a project that you cannot run on the selected target system.
