title: Which Versions of Windows Server Match the .NET Core Runtime RID's
body: <p>I am targeting the following runtimes my .NET Core web application in my <code>project.json</code> file:</p>
  
  <pre><code>"runtimes": {
    "win10-x64": { },
    "win8-x64": { },
    "win7-x64": { }
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Which versions of Windows Server do the above runtime RID's correspond to? The official <a href="https://dotnet.github.io/docs/core-concepts/rid-catalog.html" rel="nofollow">documentation</a> does not list them. In particular, which RID's should be used to target:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Windows Server 2008</li>
  <li>Windows Server 2008 R2</li>
  <li>Windows Server 2012</li>
  <li>Windows Server 2012 R2</li>
  <li>Windows Server 2016</li>
  </ul>
