Pull request overview
This pull request performs a freshness pass to update Visual Studio version references throughout the .NET documentation, acknowledging that VS 2026 is the latest version. The changes involve updating prerequisite sections, installation instructions, and related documentation to use "Visual Studio 2022 or later" or simply "Visual Studio" where appropriate.
Key Changes
- Updated Visual Studio version references from "Visual Studio 2022" to "Visual Studio 2022 or later" or "Visual Studio" across multiple tutorial and guide files
- Updated .NET SDK version references from specific versions (e.g., ".NET 7.0", ".NET 8.0") to more generic "or later" phrasing
- Cleaned up URL tracking parameters by removing version-specific utm_content parameters
- Converted bullet list markers from hyphens (-) to asterisks (*) in several machine learning tutorials for consistency
- Made minor formatting improvements including whitespace cleanup and punctuation corrections
