Different sets of target frameworks in Visual Studio 2019

Question

I have two C# console applications. In one project, under Properties -> Application -> Target Framework, I can choose .NET Core 1.0 through .NET Core 3.1 and .NET 5.0. In a different project, I have none of those choices. Instead I have .NET Framework 2.0 through .NET Framework 4.7.2. (In addition, the csproj files of the two projects look very different.) If I wanted to change one project to a framework only listed for the other, is that possible?

This page showed that .NET Core is a cross-platform, open-source successor to .NET Framework. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/do.net/core/introduction.net-core-and.net-5

If you want to change .NET Core project to .NET Framework project, you can refer to this page. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/do.net/core/porting/ https://learn.microsoft.com/zh-cn/do.net/architecture/modernize-desktop/example-migration

By the way, VS2022 can modify the target framework directly in the properties.
