Description: Refs: #61449 Situation The Supported toolchains section of the BUILDING.md document specifies: Operating System Compiler Versions Windows Visual Studio >= 2022 with the Windows 10 SDK on a 64-bit host The use of only a lower bound for the version of Visual Studio conflicts with the structure of the Windows vcbuild.bat. Each version of Visual Studio needs to be explicitly supported by the script, which currently includes the ability to work with Visual Studio 2022 and 2026 only. According to Visual Studio Product Lifecycle and Servicing it can be expected that Microsoft will release Visual Studio 2027 in November 2026 (See also https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/releases/2026/release-rhythm#annual-releases). The script will not automatically support this version and the statement of compatibility with "Visual Studio >= 2022" will become incorrect. As described in the Windows > Option 1: Manual install section of the BUILDING.md document, the "Desktop development with C++" workload is required. In the older Visual Studio 2019, this installed the Windows 10 SDK. The Visual Studio 2022 & 2026 releases however install the Windows 11 SDK, not the Windows 10 SDK by default, although Visual Studio 2022 does allow optionally installing the (out-of-support) Windows 10 SDK. Change Update the Supported toolchains section of the BUILDING.md document to: Operating System Compiler Versions Windows Visual Studio 2022 or 2026 with the Windows 10 or 11 SDK on a 64-bit host This restricts the Visual Studio versions to the working ones, and adds Windows 11 SDK (which is the one currently supported by Microsoft) to the supported toolchain. Backporting This PR can be backported to v25.x with no restrictions Backporting to v24.x requires the landing of PR #61840 for consistency between documentation and capabilities, although backporting without the other PR won't make the documentation any more inaccurate than it currently is Edit: prerequisite now available Do not backport to v22.x or v20.x since they are not compatible with Visual Studio 2026 (see #61450 & #61451 instead)
