I need to do some work on it after several years being away from it. I no longer have VS 2015 installed. Should I get the latest VS and upgrade app or reinstall SS 2015? One change will include accessing the cloud via AWS. Does this influence my decision?

What I have tried:

I have not reinstalled VS 2015 at this point.

The latest Visual Studio will do just fine.

If you install VS2015, then you restrict the framework versions you can target to just those supported by VS2015 - which means that if any of the API(s) you need to ungrade to the cloud are built for a later version you can't use them at all.

I'd recommend the latest version - it'll load the earlier project with no problems, as well as allowing you to support any framework version you need later for AWS etc.

Solution 2

As Dave states Visual Studio 2019 IDE - Programming Software for Windows[^] will do fine.
