Remote debugging on Surface Pro 3

I've installed x64 version of remote debugging components for Visual Studio 2015 on my Surface Pro 3 with Intel Core i3 CPU and recently updated to Windows 10 Pro Insider Preview x64.

When I'm trying to debug remotely simple universal application from Visual Studio 2015 RC (development machine runs Windows 8.1 Pro) I'm having this error in the output window:

Error: Unable to connect to the Microsoft Visual Studio Remote Debugger named '192.168.1.2:4020 (hosthame)'. The remote debugger is older than this version of Visual Studio 2015 RC, and Visual Studio is no longer compatible with it. Please upgrade your remote debugger to match Visual Studio.

Also there are records of failed attempt to connect in the main (log) window of Remote Debugging Monitor.

So, is there any "more updated" version of remove debugger component for Visual Studio 2015 RC then the current one I'm using, which, btw, has version 14.0.22310.1 and was "built by: DP" (have no idea what does it mean)?

Or any thoughts about other ways to workaround this issue?

I'm looking into installing Visual Studio on the Surface directly, but would like to avoid it if possible.

@garenyondem, well, not exactly - this one was about issues debugging universal apps for Windows 10 with VS2015 remotely, not about "if it even possible or not". – Sevenate

Sevenate, your latest link is for the 2013 and not the 2015. Your second link still works, people just have to go to: Tools for Visual Studio 2015->Remote Tools for Visual Studio 2015 and download the one for Update 3. I hope this helps enter image description here
