[MSVC] Updating from SDK 7.1 to WinKit 10.0.17xx

In my appveyor.yml for MSVC I have this line:

 - cmd: if "%BUILDER%"=="msvc" call "c:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1\Bin\SetEnv.cmd" /%CPU%

But that SDK is way too old for what stuff I'm currently compiling (Windows Filtering Platform).
Using the above SDK together with <fwpmu.h> throw up a lot of errors not found in a WinKit SDK v10.x.
So how do I rewrite the above SetEnv.cmd line?

And, BTW I use a Nmake / GNU-make build method (no pesky MSbuild).

   Please check Windows SDKs list installed on AppVeyor Windows images: https://www.appveyor.com/docs/windows-images-software/#windows-sdks

   You can get specific directories for SDKs by running the following command in PowerShell at any build stage:
   

   dir 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Microsoft SDKs\Windows' -Recurse

   Thanks for replying, but I fail to understand how to enable one of those images. No examples AFAICS.

   But I fixed my problem in this way instead:
   

   - cmd: if "%BUILDER%"=="msvc" call "c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat" %CPU%
   

   Works for CPU=x86. But I've not tested CPU=x64.

   Default image is Visual Studio 2015. More information about images and how to enable specific one is here: https://www.appveyor.com/docs/build-environment/#build-worker-images
