I want to develop a WinRT app for Surface.
There is one detail I cannot find anywhere. Will I be able to compile and run on the device using Windows 7 or I need to upgrade to Windows 8?

No, you can’t develop an RT “Modern” style app on Windows 7. You’ll need Windows 8 either installed as your main OS or hosted in a VM.
