For example, version 7.0.203 ships with .NET 7, is the second minor Visual Studio release since 7.0.100 first came out, and is the third patch since 7.0.200 released.

An installation of Visual Studio includes a single matching copy of the .NET SDK. If you update your Visual Studio instance, the .NET SDK installed by Visual Studio is also updated, including across .NET SDK feature bands and major bands. If you want to use a different .NET SDK than what's installed by Visual Studio, you can install it from the [.NET download page](https://aka.ms/dotnet/download), and Visual Studio upgrade won't touch that version. You're responsible for updating that copy of the .NET SDK from then on.

> [!NOTE]
The .NET SDK supports targeting down-level versions of .NET, so we recommend always updating your .NET SDK along with your Visual Studio version.

## Lifecycle

The support timeframe for the SDK typically matches that of the Visual Studio version it's included in.
