Deploy to surface pro 2 from desktop

I've been searching for information about deploying to a surface pro 2 from my desktop computer (windows 8.1) and can't find a lot of info about this. I can find a lot about deploying to RT, but not the surface pro 2.

First off, is this possible? I know I can install everything on the surface and build that way, but copying my whole project over just to test will take a while as it's getting big.

If this is possible, can anyone point me in the right direction?

I've been deploying to my phones with no problem, but I'd love to be able to deploy to my surface in a similar way from my desktop.

 

That looks straight forward enough

Thanks for the link.

 

FWIW the steps for a Surface Pro are exactly the same as the steps for a Windows RT device (you're deploying to the RT subset of the OS).

The only difference is that you need to install the x86 tools.

 

Download the Visual Studio Remote Debugger and Install on Surface

From VS you can build to a remote machine, choose your surface.

Also useful for debugging on the Surface.
