.NET Core is a general purpose development platform maintained by Microsoft and the .NET community on GitHub. It is cross-platform, supporting Windows, macOS and Linux, and can be used in device, cloud, and embedded/IoT scenarios. The .NET Desktop Runtime (Microsoft.WindowsDesktop.App) enables you to run existing Windows desktop applications. .NET Core supports Windows 7 SP1 / Server 2008 R2 or later. On Windows 7 / Server 2008 R2, [security update KB2533623](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2533623) must be installed, according to [documented system requirements](https://github.com/dotnet/core/blob/master/Documentation/prereqs.md).
