Pull request overview
Updates the Visual Basic and C# compiler option documentation for SubsystemVersion to avoid maintaining potentially divergent Windows version tables by linking to the Windows “Operating System Version” documentation instead.
Changes:
- Removed the Windows version-to-subsystem version tables from the C# and Visual Basic docs.
- Added a link to the Windows “Operating System Version” page as the source of truth.
- Updated
ms.datemetadata in both articles.

| The `major.minor` specify the minimum required version of the subsystem, as expressed in a dot notation for major and minor versions. For example, you can specify that an application can't run on an operating system that's older than Windows 7. Set the value of this option to 6.01, as the table later in this article describes. You specify the values for `major` and `minor` as integers. Leading zeroes in the `minor` version don't change the version, but trailing zeroes do. For example, 6.1 and 6.01 refer to the same version, but 6.10 refers to a different version. We recommend expressing the minor version as two digits to avoid confusion. | ||
