I'm developing a C# Windows Form Application. It is a "Hello World" application and doesn't need any special library so I'm not force to use any special .Net Framework version. But the most important thing for me is running the application on all Windows versions without needing to install or active .Net Framework. I want to run this application on Windows 10, Windows 8.1 and Windows 7. Is there any common preinstalled .Net framework version on these kind of Windows? For example .Net Framework 4.6 is surely preinstalled on Windows 10 but not on the Windows 7. Or .Net Framework 3.5 is Preinstalled on Windows 7 but no on the Windows 10 and my Application uses .Net Framework 4.5
Common .Net Framework between Windows 7, Windows 8.1 and Windows 10

AFAIK you have two options. Both have their problems.
Option 1
This article states that .NET Framework 4.5 and newer is backwards compatible with all previous versions, but there is a catch:
Messy stuff.
If you go this route I would recommend testing your application on fresh installs of all (major - 7, 8, 8.1, 10) versions of Windows you want to deploy to. You would have to do this for every release, and make sure you manually get around to test all features. I would not recommend this route if you are doing any more than just trying out a Hello World application.
Option 2
Windows Forms has been ported to .NET Core since version 3.0, however the Windows Forms designer is not fully implemented yet.
Using .NET Core 3.x you can deploy a self contained application as described here, that will run on all versions of Windows.
