Hi I am currently running the visual studio 2019 express version but I am working on getting a new computer. The problem is I want to make sure I can still run version 2010 and 2017 express versions on my new machine and was wondering if someone can supply me with a link for them. There are some sites I have found but don't know if they are trustworthy or not. I have many apps over the years that were developed with both versions and would like to have them available on my new machine. I feel fairly certain they are still available but have no idea where to go. Next question if none of you can tell me where to get them is there anyway that I can bring both those versions onto my new hard drive? Thank you for any feedback you can supply me with.
I am not quite sure what they mean about supplying a mandatory tag so I will include visual basic? don't know what else to do??

Hi Les,
As DSPatrick shared, you can download the required Visual Studio versions in the following download page.
https://my.visualstudio.com/Downloads/Featured
Please note that Visual Studio Express version is no longer available from VS2017. It is supplanted by the Visual Studio Community. You can also download Community version from download page. Meanwhile, VS2010 Express, VS2017 and VS2019 Community can be installed side-by-side if the system requirements are met. You can check the following system requirements:
Visual Studio 2017 Product Family System Requirements
Visual Studio Express Readme
Best Regards,
Anna

Guess you can't anymore, bummer. But you can get the directshow baseclasses from github instead of windows 7.1 SDK now... https://github.com/microsoft/Windows-classic-samples
