Update Azure SDK 2.1 to latest version of 3.0

Question

Team,

I am a beginner in Azure. I have a task to upgrade the Azure SDK from 2.1 to the latest version available. The Azure project is housed under a MVC 4.0 solution and is currently using VS 2012.

Is it mandatory to use VS 2017 professional/Enterprise edition to work further on the project.

Can i still have VS 2012 and upgrade to the lastest Azure SDK version. How to go about it ?

My AZURE project uses a worker role, Azure storage n all.. Can anyone give me the step by step upgradation steps for this?
