We Are .NET

A walkthrough of using the GitHub Copilot Modernize .NET extension in Visual Studio Code to assess a .NET project before upgrading. The process involves installing the extension, running an automated assessment that generates a markdown report detailing upgrade difficulty, incompatible NuGet packages, API changes, and required code modifications. The assessment is the first of three steps (assessment, planning, building) and serves as a customizable starting point for planning a migration from .NET 8 to .NET 10.
