I have Windows 10 Creators Update on my machine and I checked the registry key and found the Value of the Release DWORD is 460798 (per https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh925568(v=vs.110).aspx).
Yet, when I launched Visual Studio 2015 (Update 3) and the Target Framework drop down in a project properties does not show .NET Framework 4.7. The target .net platform page (http://getdotnet.azurewebsites.net/target-dotnet-platforms.html#) does not show .net framework 4.7 under VS 2015.
Can I even target .net framework 4.7 with VS 2015? If it is possible, what should I do?

Microsoft made it official today and released Visual Studio 2015 and . NET Framework 4.6, both fairly comprehensive and worked out and tested versions of the developer tools platforms meant for designing apps and services that work across various OSes and cloud-enabled environments.
NET 4.7 is also supported on the Windows 10 Creators Update (Version 1703). . NET Framework 4.7.
For Visual Studio 2017, customers who remain on the RTW version 15.0. x will continue to be supported until January 2020. For Visual Studio 2015 and Team Foundation Server 2015, RTW is no longer supported.
Edit: The targeting pack is now available for earlier versions also as of 2017-05-02.
Microsoft hasn't yet released the .NET 4.7 targeting pack for earlier versions of Visual Studio. It will come "soon" when they also release the framework for earlier Windows versions.
See the section Support in their blog.
