Why doesn't it require a higher version (.net framework)?

Question

.NET

I have a project with target framwork 4.6.1
But it uses dlls that according to dotePeek have target frameworm 4.8

I have a couple of questions:
1) Why doesn't my project ask me to do 4.8 too?
2) Do I understand correctly that 4.6.1 is sufficient for users
in dotePeek exe, the shnik has 4.6.1
?

Answer 1

If your project is under 4.6.1, and on PC 4.8, then installing 4.6.1 may not be required, because. newer .NET frameworks may maintain compatibility with previous versions.
