Windows 10: Why do you need older dotnet versions?

How to properly manage multiple versions of dotnet SDKs

I have to build an F# project which requires dotnet 7.0.201. I have dotnet 7.0.302 globally installed.

The original installed dotnet is in

I could change the install directory by assigning -InstallDir

However, I wonder if this would corrupt original installed dotnet (including all system-wide runtime, SDK 7.0.302).

Is there a proper way to maintain multiple versions of dotnet SDKs while not corrupting anything?
