title: Visual Studio 2015 Change target platform to windows 7
body: <p>How can I change the target platform to Windows 7? All I can chose is Windows 8.1 and therefore my project does not run on Windows 7. The same project I used to compile on my old Windows 7 PC with Visual Studio 2013. And of course it worked there.</p>
  
  <p>I already tried to install Windows 7 SDK but sadly this does not work since it requites Net Framework 4.0 which I can not install anymore.  (Windows 10 includes 4.6?) - <a href="https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/en-en/library/ff770576.aspx">https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/en-en/library/ff770576.aspx</a></p>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>
