Has anyone got .NET 7.0 to work with Visual Studio 2022 Professional

Viewed 603

Just as the subject says, I'm trying to see if I can upgrade an existing project to .NET 7.0 and I can't get it to show up in the targeted frameworks dropdown. The highest displayed is .NET 6.0. I've tried starting a new project, both before and after restarting my machine. Below is my dotnet --info dump

Initially, I went from tools->options->preview features, but that didn't seem to stick. But when I went to tools->preview features I checked this box and restarted visual studio it worked. They seem to take you to the same place, so I'm not sure why it didn't stick the first time.

Anyway, checking this box let me build .NET 7 projects in VS2022.

Options window highlighting the "Use preview of the .NET SDK" checkbox
