Update Razor Pages EF Core Data Access tutorial from .NET 6 to .NET 10

Description

I’ve started working through the Razor Pages Data Access tutorial and noticed it is still based on .NET 6.

I’d like to propose updating it to .NET 10 and am willing to submit a pull request.

---

Proposed Scope

My goal would be to:

Preserve the existing learning flow
Update only what is necessary for .NET 10 compatibility
Avoid introducing advanced concepts beyond the current tutorial level

---

Relevant Experience

I previously upgraded the Contoso University MVC tutorial from .NET 5 to .NET 9 as part of my own documentation/research work.

This involved validating the full tutorial flow, updating project setup and EF Core usage, and resolving version-related issues.

I can provide examples of this work if helpful.

Question

Would this be a useful contribution, and is there a preferred approach for version upgrades (e.g., update in place vs. side-by-side version)?

@smiller7812 Yes It would be a useful contribution and the preferred approach would be side-by side. Your proposed scope sounds good. Parts specific to Visual Studio 2022 should be updated to VS 2026.
