Visual Studio 2017 Is Not Supported on All Versions of Windows 10
https://www.petri.com/visual-studio-2017-not-supported-versions-windows-10

Posted on March 7, 2017 by Brad Sams in Visual Studio, Windows 10

Today, Microsoft has released Visual Studio 2017 and it arrives with several new features as well as a two-day long webinar highlighting all the updates; you can learn more here. But, not all versions of Windows 10 are supported with this release.

Microsoft says that Windows 10 versions 1507 or higher: Home, Professional, Education, and Enterprise are supported but its Long Term Servicing Branch (LTSB) is not supported. Windows 10 version 1507 is the RTM release, the company has not made any announcements about how long it will support older iterations of Windows 10.

VS 2017 CE works great under Windows 8.1 x64 Pro MCE. 🙂

Got my plug-in products (roughly a quarter million NCLOC) building and running under VS 2017 (from VS 2015 previously) in just 4 hours, and much of that time was getting VS 2017 installed and configured. For product changes, mostly I had to remove new portability warnings about using CStrings on variable argument list calls using explicit casting. The first complete compile ran perfectly.

Performance of my products is about the same or maybe a few percent faster, but I haven’t investigated whether there are new settings (e.g., for optimization) yet.

Have encountered just a few bugs so far with VS 2017, and I’d sure like to get a handle on all the new components going online and trying to talk to e.g., aka.ms and other servers. Overall it looks like it’s going to be a pretty smooth move from VS 2015 to 2017.

By the way, if you get lockups during batch builds, deconfigure the “Enable Faster Project Load” setting in the Text Editor > C/C++ > Experimental section.
