.NET 10 support in Visual Studio 2022 .NET 10 is here, and you'll likely want to use it. It is recommended that you upgrade to Visual Studio 2026, but how do you use it if you're sticking with VS2022?

Sticking with VS2022 but want .NET 10 features? @mikeirvingweb.bsky.social's quick SDK install unlocks the target framework and he flags when VS 2026 or VS Code might be a better fit.
