-### Visual Studio 2022
+### Update Target Framework
+Developers will need to ensure the project is updated to target the .NET version used by MonoGame at minimum (currenty `net8.0`). To do this, open your project's *.csproj* file and find the `<TargetFramework>` element and change the `net-X.Y` version to `net-8.0`, then save the file.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> Only change the .NET version number. some projext types have platform specifiers such as `net6.0-windows`. The only thing that should change here is the version number.
+
+### Update NuGet References
+The following sections cover updating your NuGet packages for existing projects based om your developmemt environment.
+
+#### Visual Studio 2022
