 ## ASP.NET Core targeting .NET Framework
 
-ASP.NET Core 2.x can target .NET Core or .NET Framework. ASP.NET Core apps targeting .NET Framework aren't cross-platform—they run on Windows only. Generally, ASP.NET Core 2.x is made up of [.NET Standard](/dotnet/standard/net-standard) libraries. Libraries written with .NET Standard 2.0 run on any [.NET platform that implements .NET Standard 2.0](/dotnet/standard/net-standard#net-implementation-support).

 ASP.NET Core 2.x is supported on .NET Framework versions that implement .NET Standard 2.0:
 
 * .NET Framework latest version is recommended.
 * .NET Framework 4.6.1 or later.
 
-ASP.NET Core 3.0 or later only run on .NET Core. For more details regarding this change, see [A first look at changes coming in ASP.NET Core 3.0](https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/webdev/2018/10/29/a-first-look-at-changes-coming-in-asp-net-core-3-0/).

 * Improved performance
 * [Side-by-side versioning](/dotnet/standard/choosing-core-framework-server#side-by-side-net-versions-per-application-level)
 * New APIs
 * Open source
 
-To help close the API gap from .NET Framework to .NET Core, the [Windows Compatibility Pack](/dotnet/core/porting/windows-compat-pack) made thousands of Windows-only APIs available in .NET Core. These APIs weren't available in .NET Core 1.x.
