 ## Requirements
 
-The .NET IoT APIs require using at least .NET Core 2.1. [.NET Core 3.1](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet-core/3.1) or higher is recommended, and is required for ARM64.
+The .NET IoT APIs require using at least .NET 8.0.
 
-Many of these samples use the [Raspberry Pi](https://www.raspberrypi.org/), however, .NET Core can be used with other devices. .NET Core is supported on Raspberry Pi 2B as well as 3 and 4 models (ARMv7/v8). .NET Core is not supported on Raspberry Pi Zero or Arduino.

For the later ones, there are alternatives like [NanoFramework](https://nanoframework.net/) or our own [Arduino Compiler](../tools/ArduinoCsCompiler/README.md).
 
-We primarily test the IoT APIs on Debian Linux, although we expect them to work on most Linux distros. We do not test on Windows.
