Hi,

Does Windows 10 20H2 version supports and .NET framework 4.7.1 and 4.6.2?

I see in one of the article that the Native version for 20H2 is 4.8. does it means other frame works will not work with 20H2 version?

Thanks
Manoj

    From MSDN, at .NET Framework system requirements :

    "Windows 10 October 2020 Update (version 20H2)
    Preinstalled with the OS : .NET Framework 4.8"
    "If the OS comes pre-installed with a particular .NET Framework version, you can't install a previous 4.x version on the same machine."

    Hi Manoj

    As Castorix31 describes:
    If the OS comes pre-installed with a particular .NET Framework version, you can't install a previous 4.x version on the same machine.

    For more specific information, we could refer to this link:
    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/framework/get-started/system-requirements

    Also, here is a link about NET official support policy, which may help you make a better understanding .

    Best Regards
