title: VS 2022 - cannot change Target Platform to .Net 6.0 for a project created in VS 2019
body: <p>Just installed VS 2022 on a machine, after I removed VS 2019 (VM with limited space).
  VS 2022 installed fine.  I can create a .Net 6.0 project and compile it - no problem.
  I can open the project I created in VS 2019 - and compile it - no problem.</p>
  <p>But - when I try to change the Target Platform from .Net 4.6 to 6.0 - I do not see anything above .Net 4.8 in the drop down list.<br />

  <p>This is VS 2022 - and I CAN create a new .Net 6.0 project and compile it.

  <p>And when I go into that New Project's Properties - I can see .Net 6.0 in the dropdown...

  <p>So - I think I am missing a step to get my older 2019 project - fully upgraded to 2022.  I loaded the project in 2022 - but when I look at the properties for that project, the screen looks like it did in 2019 --- but for a new project the properties screen looks VERY different (as you can see in the two screen shots attached).</p>
  <p>Does anyone have any thoughts as to what steps I might be missing?  I loaded .Net 6.0 SDK on this machine (hence why I can create a .net 6.0 project and compile it :)<br />
  Are there other steps to making an older project work like it was created in VS 2022 - and then make it use .Net 6.0 ???</p>
  <p>Any thoughts would be much appreciated!!</p>
