Visual Studio 2012 Express for Windows Desktop (Silverlight and XNA too).Visual Studio 2012 Express for Windows 8.The lone exception being Visual Studio 2012 for Windows 8 which is technically installable on Windows 7, but requires considerable human effort to be able to build Win 8 apps.ĭepending on what app you want to write, here is how to choose: They are freely available for 30 days and then require a free product key for ongoing use after 30 days (it takes only a few seconds to get the key, no big deal).īoth 20 versions are still available and nearly all compatible with Windows 7.
