What this does

Microsoft offers a tool to upgrade existing .NET Framework projects to .NET 6. However, as the tool asks after every step twice for confirmation, it's pretty annoying to upgrade, especially if you have multiple projects.

This script addresses the issue and confirms the steps automatically. It also can process multiple projects in one run, without the need to restart the tool over and over again.
