Win 8 apps will work on Win 10. However, the MS Store is not showing any Win 8 apps to Win 10 devices. See Can Windows 10 download Windows 8.0 app from Store? – chue x

Windows 8.1 Apps will work on Windows 10 , there's a 'App Commands' button in the top-left corner for the charm bar ..

And No, Windows 10 apps 'UWP' will NOT work on Windows 8.1
