Shows concrete migration paths: upgrade WinForms/WPF to modern .NET 6/7/8 using the Upgrade Assistant, embed web UI with Blazor Hybrid via WebView2 or Electron, or build native cross‑platform apps with NET MAUI desktop‑first. Demos include a working Maui crypto tracker that adapts layout for desktop versus mobile, a Blazor component running inside WPF/WinForms, and a Blazor+Electron package. Notes on packaging as a single self‑contained executable, keyboard/shortcut support, and incremental modernization strategies.
