Step 4 — Choose workloads
After the Visual Studio Installer is installed, you can use it to customize your installation by selecting the feature sets—or workloads—that you want. Here’s how.
Find the workload you want in the Visual Studio Installer.
For example, choose the «ASP.NET and web development» workload. It comes with the default core editor, which includes basic code editing support for over 20 languages, the ability to open and edit code from any folder without requiring a project, and integrated source code control.
After you choose the workload(s) you want, choose Install.
Next, status screens appear that show the progress of your Visual Studio installation.
Select the workload you want in the Visual Studio Installer.
Review the workload summaries to decide which workload supports the features you need. For example, choose the ASP.NET and web development workload to edit ASP.NET Web pages with Web Live Preview or build responsive web apps with Blazor, or choose from Desktop & Mobile workloads to develop cross-platform apps with C#, or C++ projects that target C++20.
After you choose the workload(s) you want, select Install.
Next, status screens appear that show the progress of your Visual Studio installation.
[!TIP] At any time after installation, you can install workloads or components that you didn’t install initially. If you have Visual Studio open, go to Tools > Get Tools and Features. which opens the Visual Studio Installer. Or, open the Visual Studio Installer from the Start menu. From there, you can choose the workloads or components that you wish to install. Then, choose Modify.
Step 5 — Choose individual components (optional)
If you don’t want to use the Workloads feature to customize your Visual Studio installation, or you want to add more components than a workload installs, you can do so by installing or adding individual components from the Individual components tab. Choose what you want, and then follow the prompts.
Step 6 — Install language packs (optional)
By default, the installer program tries to match the language of the operating system when it runs for the first time. To install Visual Studio in a language of your choosing, choose the Language packs tab from the Visual Studio Installer, and then follow the prompts.
Change the installer language from the command line
Another way that you can change the default language is by running the installer from the command line. For example, you can force the installer to run in English by using the following command:
The installer will remember this setting when it is run the next time. The installer supports the following language tokens: zh-cn, zh-tw, cs-cz, en-us, es-es, fr-fr, de-de, it-it, ja-jp, ko-kr, pl-pl, pt-br, ru-ru, and tr-tr.

You can reduce the installation footprint of Visual Studio on your system drive. For more information, see Select installation locations.
[!IMPORTANT] You can select a different drive for Visual Studio IDE or Download cache only when you first install Visual Studio. If you’ve already installed it and want to change drives, you must uninstall Visual Studio and then reinstall it.
If you’ve installed Visual Studio on your computer before, you won’t be able to change the Shared components, tools, and SDKs path and it will appear greyed out. This location is shared by all installations of Visual Studio.

On the start window, choose Create a new project.
In the search box, enter the type of app you want to create to see a list of available templates. The list of templates depends on the workloads that you chose during installation. To see different templates, choose different workloads.
