Cross platform/OS deployment of compiled applications

Can an application that was compiled on Windows 7 OS be run on Windows 10 OS?

In particular:

• I have a Matlab application that was compiled using Matlab 2013b on Windows 7 machine.
• In this case, the MCR 8.2 was needed to be installed on Windows 10 OS since the application was compiled on 2013b.
• Can this compiled application be run on Windows 10 machine even though it was compiled on a different OS?

Harish,

Doesn't look like you can move compiled applications cross-platform. This makes sense, since the compiler generates an actual executable.
