Hi,

    Hello @Dani_S ,

    Since targeting .NET 10 is only officially supported in Visual Studio 2026 and later version, you should download Visual Studio 2026 from the official Microsoft website: https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/

    I hope this clarifies things.

    To move from .NET 9 to .NET 10, you will need to update your Visual Studio installation. Specifically, you should ensure that you have Visual Studio 2022 version 17.12 or higher, as this version supports .NET 10. Since you are currently using version 17.14.8, you are already on a version that supports .NET 10, so you do not need to install a new version of Visual Studio.

    Here are the steps you can follow to update your project:

    1. Update the .NET SDK version in your global.json file to target the .NET 10 SDK version.
    2. Update the target framework in your project file to net10.0.
    3. Update package references in your project file to the latest versions compatible with .NET 10.

    After these updates, you should be able to build and run your project using .NET 10 without needing to install a new version of Visual Studio.
