- MS no longer supports .NET software versions v4, v4.50 & v4.51.

Question: After having read this article I upgraded to .NET v4.52. I have a few nice programs that require .NET. Is it normal that previous/lower versions are removed automatically ?

Installing a new version in the past has never removed an older version.

It's about as popular as QuickTime.

I like NET.

I use it as curtains for my Windows :)

.NET v4.6.2 is backwards compatible all the way to v4.0. If you want/need .NET v3.5 or anything under, you will need to install .NET v3.5, then.

There's actually still quite a bit of software that use .NET still.

- This does not mean that MS dropped support for .NET v3.5 (yet ??). MS recently issued an update for .NET v3.5 this october (2016). It's KB 3179930.
