When you're installing Visual Studio the C++ tools version is listed
under the selected components as "v14x".
However, at this stage, the *only* version in circulation is 14.x - mine
shows v142. Until the 14 changes to a "15", it will be binary compatible
and so you can use any version at all to build CPython and/or extension
modules.
Our official releases are always using relatively up-to-date compilers,
but provided the compatibility is maintained on Microsoft's side,
there's no need to worry about the specific versions.
Cheers,
Steve

How do you check that the C++ tools are v14.x?

Is it still correct to specifically use VS2017 , or is VS2019 also
acceptable?
We have to update the devguide. VS 2019 is supported, probably even
recommended, as long as the C++ tools are v14.x.
