No, it is not possible to execute .NET 6 applications with the .NET 7 runtime. Generally, .NET applications are forward-compatible, meaning that an application targeting a previous version of .NET can usually run on a newer version of .NET. However, this does not work in reverse. The reason for this is that .NET applications rely on the specific version of the runtime they are built for, and cannot function with a different version. Additionally, .NET 7 introduces new features and functionality that would not be present in .NET 6, so attempting to run a .NET 6 application on the .NET 7 runtime would likely result in errors or unexpected behavior.
