Description

Summary

Update our ADO VM images to no longer install NET 3.1.

https://github.com/microsoft/react-native-windows/blob/main/.ado/image/rnw-img-vs2022.json

Motivation

.NET 3.1 is now officially unsupported. We do not actually require .NET 3.1 in our codebase, however some of the ADO tasks we run may still require it.

Basic Example

To do this we'll need to experiment with updating the test image and seeing if the the ADO pipelines still run. We may need to upgrade some of our ADO tasks (and/or poke the task owners to upgrade).

Research direction

Start with .ado/image/rnw-img-vs2022.json and inspect how the .NET 3.1 SDK is installed. Update a test image, then run the ADO pipelines to identify any tasks that still require it; coordinate task upgrades with their owners if needed. Done means the image no longer installs .NET 3.1 and the pipelines still run successfully.
