    Hi @Shahab a, 

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A! 

    Please refer to the document to migrate your project: Porting, Migrating, and Upgrading Visual Studio Projects.  

    You can backup your project and try to directly open it in VS2022. If there is no any errors or warnings, I suppose you can directly load the project in VS2022.  

    If you want to upgrade the project from .NET Framework to .NET , you can try the .NET Upgrade Assistant tool. (Please backup your projects before using the tool.)  

    Sincerely,

    Anna
