I have .NET 6 installed.

But it doesn't show up.

I even have the "Use previews of the .NET SDK" on.

I don't understand what I'm missing.

First of all .NET Framework 6.0 does not exist, the latest release is actually .NET Framework 4.8.1. What you mean is .NET 6 or if you prefer using the old naming then .NET core 6.

For you to use .NET 6 be sure to create a project using a template without the (.NET Framework) at the end (if coming from an existing .NET Framework project you need to migrate it to .NET 6)

.NET Framework and .NET (.NET Core) are completely different enviroments, .NET Framework being the oldest which is replaced by the newer .NET (.NET Core).

You can check this for more information about .NET Framework vs .NET Core vs .NET vs .NET Standard vs C#.
