Pull request overview
Updates the migration guide to be more explicit about how to choose a supported Microsoft build of Go “major version” (current vs previous) and how to manage version pinning during and after migration.
Changes:
- Adds a “What version should I use?” section defining current/previous and recommending selection criteria.
- Adds a “Dependency pinning” section describing why and how to pin to a major version range (e.g.,
1.26.*). - Links the quick-start steps to the new version-selection guidance.

Try to be a lot more direct about our recommendations and the underlying reasoning.
Try using "current" and "previous" terminology with translation for other (apparently) less common terms.
Break out a dependency pinning section. For now, focuses on the existing topic of pinning to a major version, not immutable dependency pinning to specific builds with auto-updates through Dependabot etc.
