title: Which .net version to use for windows 7 and up?
body: <p>I have a little java experience as a junior, but i'm looking to learn C# and the .net framework (especially as other projects seem to be made with the same language.</p>
  
  <p>My intention is to create a basic application which will combine CSV files into one. If not too naive, i wanted to create an exe build which non-technical users on any windows environment (windows 7, 8, 10, and up) can run without needing to install anything. Just receive the the executable file and double click it and let the script do all the work </p>
  
  <p>I was planning to use .net 3.5 because it sounds like windows 10, 8, 7 all habe backward compatible .net versions already included which support 3.5. I believe Microsoft would also be supporting it till 2028?</p>
  
  <p>Maximum compatibility would be ideal (minimal technical requirements). Is this the correct approach?</p>
