+# Version requirements for .NET 10 SDK
+
+Per the [published support rules](../../../porting/versioning-sdk-msbuild-vs.md#targeting-and-support-rules), the minimum Visual Studio and MSBuild version for each new major release is updated with a one quarter delay. For the .NET 10 release:
+
+- 10.0.100 requires version 17.14 to be loaded but only supports targeting .NET 9 in that version.
+- To target `net10.0`, you must use version 18.0 or later.
+
+## Version introduced
+
+.NET 10 RC 2
+
+## Previous behavior
+
+The previous minimum for .NET 10 previews was Visual Studio 17.13 to allow time for release and more adoption of Visual Studio 17.14.
+
+## New behavior
+
+- .NET 10.0.100 RC 2 and later will only load on Visual Studio version 17.14 or later.
+- .NET 10.0.100 will warn when targeting `net10.0` on Visual Studio version 17.14.
+- To target `net10.0`, you must use Visual Studio version 18.0 or later.
+
+## Type of breaking change
+
+This change can affect [source compatibility](../../categories.md#source-compatibility).
+
+## Reason for change
+
+This is part of the standard support policy for the SDK as not all prior versions of Visual Studio and MSBuild can be supported.
+
+## Recommended action
+
+Upgrade to Visual Studio 2026 to target `net10.0`. If you only need to target `net9.0` or earlier, you can use Visual Studio 17.14 or later.

 > The table depicts how these versioning rules are applied, starting with .NET SDK 7.0.100 and .NET SDK 6.0.300. It also depicts how the policy would have applied to previously shipped versions of the .NET SDK, had it been in place then. However, the requirements for previous versions of the SDK don't change—that is, the minimum required version of Visual Studio for .NET SDK 6.0.100 or 6.0.200 remains 16.10.

 To ensure consistent tooling, you should use `dotnet build` rather than `msbuild` to build your application when possible.
