Can WinXP install .NET Framework 4.5?

The Microsoft .NET Framework is a running support environment software developed by Microsoft. 4.5 is the latest version. It can be said that most applications require the .NET Framework. WinXP system installs .NET Framework 2.0 by default, and some install 3.0, but these early versions can't adapt to new and new software, so installing the latest version of .NET Framework on WinXP is imperative. But can WinXP support the latest version? Let's continue to look down.

The vast majority of WinXP users must manually install the .NET Framework, and even then it may encounter incompatibilities. For example, the .NET Framework 4.5 version.
1. Download .NET Framework 4.5, click the link to download the latest version of .NET Framework 4.5. There are actually two versions of the 4.5x version of the .NET Framework. One is the 4.51 version and the other is the 4.52 version. There is no difference between the two versions.
2, download and run, pop-up error, the error prompt is simple and clear, you need a higher version of Windows operating system support to run this installation package. It seems that this version of the .NET Framework does not support running in the WinXP operating system. You can see that the minimum requirements for this version are also to run on Windows 2008.

3. It is obvious that the WinXP system does not support .NET Framework 4.5, but it does not matter. The difference between the Microsoft .NET Framework versions is very small, so we can install the highest .NET Framework 4.0.

Can WinXP install .NET Framework 4.5? This question has been answered through hands-on practice. If you still want to use the latest version of the .NET Framework 4.5, you may wish to install the Win7 system directly. Now that the user usage of Win7 is higher than that of WinXP, why bother to guard the old system?
