title: How can I convert a .NET Core project to a .NET Framework project?
body: <p>I created a "Console App (.NET Core)" project in Visual Studio. Now I need to add a dependency that only works on .NET Framework 4.6+, not .NET Core.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a way to convert my project to a full .NET Framework project?</p>
  
  <hr>
  
  <p>Here's what I've tried:</p>
  
  <p>I went to the project properties and attempted to change the project framework, but I don't see the option I need in the dropdown:</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/FCln8.png" rel="noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/FCln8.png" alt="Only .NETCoreApp displays in the target framework list."></a></p>
  
  <p>If I click "Install other frameworks..." I'm taken to <a href="https://www.microsoft.com/net/targeting" rel="noreferrer">a page</a> that says .NET Framework versions are included in Visual Studio 2017 -- which is exactly what I'm using to edit this project. This is where I got stuck.</p>
