Visual Studio Platform Selection
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-On :ref:`Visual Studio Generators` the selected platform name
-is provided in the :variable:`CMAKE_VS_PLATFORM_NAME` variable.
+The :ref:`Visual Studio Generators` support platform specification
+using one of these forms:
+
+* ``platform``
+* ``platform[,key=value]*``
+* ``key=value[,key=value]*``
+
+The ``platform`` specifies the target platform (VS target architecture),
+such as ``x64``, ``ARM64``, or ``Win32``. The selected platform
+name is provided in the :variable:`CMAKE_VS_PLATFORM_NAME` variable.
+
+The ``key=value`` pairs form a comma-separated list of options to
+specify generator-specific details of the platform selection.
+Supported pairs are:
+
+``version=<version>``
+ .. versionadded:: 3.27
+
+ Specify the Windows SDK version to use. This is supported by VS 2015 and
+ above when targeting Windows 10.0+ or Windows Store. CMake will set the
+ :variable:`CMAKE_VS_WINDOWS_TARGET_PLATFORM_VERSION` variable to the
+ selected SDK version.
+
+ The ``<version>`` may be one of:
+
+ ``10.0``
+ Specify that any 10.0 SDK version may be used, and let Visual Studio
+ pick one. This is supported by VS 2019 and above.
+
+ ``10.0.<build>.<increment>``
+ Specify the exact 4-component SDK version, e.g., ``10.0.19041.0``.
+ The specified version of the SDK must be installed. It may not exceed
+ the value of :variable:`CMAKE_VS_WINDOWS_TARGET_PLATFORM_VERSION_MAXIMUM`,
+ if that variable is set.
+
+ If the ``version`` field is not specified, CMake selects a version as
+ described in the :variable:`CMAKE_VS_WINDOWS_TARGET_PLATFORM_VERSION`
+ variable documentation.
