Is IIS 8.5 Express available for developer workstations? - asp.net

We are moving to Windows 2012 R2 servers from Windows 2008 R2 and I am wondering if there is an IIS 8.5 Express version which can be installed on developer workstations (They are mostly Windows 7 at this point). In web Platform installer I only see IIS 8.0 Express and have not found a definitive answer if an IIS 8.5 express is available.

Microsoft .NET Framework 4.6.2 Developer Pack Windows 10 Build 1607

The download site for the Microsoft .NET Framework 4.6.2 Developer Pack (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=53321) states that it is for the following supported operating systems:
Windows 7 Service Pack 1,
Windows 8.1,
Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1,
Windows Server 2012,
Windows Server 2012 R2
Notice that Windows 10 is not listed. The problem being that Windows 10 does not ship with it. My only conclusion is that the Microsoft download site is wrong! Because how would you build applications targeting the new framework ?
Has anyone else noticed this ?
There is an alternate page which says that the Developer Pack is for Windows 10 Version 1607, Windows 8.1, Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (SP1), Windows Server 2016, Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows Server 2012, and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1
https://support.microsoft.com/en-nz/kb/3151934
If you click the download link on that page, then you are redirected to the page that you are referring to.
So documentation on the download page appears to be out of date.
I installed on Windows 10 and it installed everthing but the main 4.6.2 - however it did install the SDK for 4.6.2 - see the programs and features list after installing - if you look on a Win7 install you will see the main one listed as installed but not in win10 - 4.6.2 is missing on Win10

.NET core Windows OS requirements

In the past, .NET framework versions have come with information about which operating systems they can be installed on. For example, the download page for .NET 4 lists Windows XP SP3, Windows Vista SP1 and Windows 7 SP1 among others.
However, I can't seem to find this information on the .NET Core download page. On which Windows versions can .NET core be deployed?
Found it on the .NET core roadmap:
Windows Client: Windows 7 SP1 - Windows 10
Windows Server: Windows 2008 R2 SP1 - Windows 2016

Thanks in advance...
From Microsoft TechNet article, Migrating a Web Server from IIS 6.0 to IIS 7:
You can use the Web Deployment Tool (Web Deploy) to migrate your Web
server or Web site from a computer that is running Information
Services (IIS) version 6.0 on Microsoft® Windows Server™ 2003 to a
computer that is running IIS 7.0 on Windows Server 2008 or IIS 7.5 on
Windows Server 2008 R2. (In this documentation, "IIS 7" refers to both
IIS 7.0 and IIS 7.5.) You can also use Web Deploy to migrate from an
IIS 6.0 Web server to another IIS 6.0 Web server, or from an IIS 7 Web
server to another IIS 7 Web server.
There is also a chapter on the IIS site "Migrate a Web Site from IIS 6.0 to IIS 7 or above" which describes how to use the Web Deploy (msdeploy) tool.

You cannot upgrade IIS to version 7 on Server 2003 - you would have to upgrade your server OS to Windows Server 2008 in order to run IIS 7 (it is an integral part of the OS).
According to Microsoft, IIS7 is now supported on Server 2003 with SP1:
