After upgrading .NET CORE : This project is incompatible with the current version of Visual Studio

So I decided to migrate dotnet core projects from version 1.0.0 to 2.1.4 (the newest). I downloaded the SDK from the official .NET website. When everything was installed, I opened Visual Studio 2015 and was shocked.

All projects (literally all, even those which didn't use Core at all) were not successfully loaded. The error message shown was:

“This project is incompatible with the current version of Visual Studio”

Can you give me some advice for a newbie? I've read this topic: "This project is incompatible with the current version of Visual Studio"

However, .csproj file contains this:

<TargetFrameworkVersion>v4.6.1</TargetFrameworkVersion>

According to Microsoft documentation, you need Visual Studio 2017 version 15.7 or higher for .NET Core 2.1 apps.

If you don't have a license for Visual Studio 2017, you could open it in Visual Studio Code (it's free).
