Clarify that .edmx files support EF6 only
The link on this page implies that EF Core supports .edmx files. Switch that link to EF6 instead, and add a note that EF Core does not support .edmx files.

Entity Framework is an object-relational mapping technology that enables .NET developers to work with relational data by using domain-specific objects. It eliminates the need for most of the data-access code that developers usually need to write. Entity Framework is the recommended object-relational mapping (ORM) modeling technology for new .NET applications.

> The Entity Framework Tools described on this page are used to generate *.edmx* files, which are not supported in EF Core. To generate an EF Core model from an existing database, see [Reverse Engineering - EF Core](/ef/core/managing-schemas/scaffolding). For more information on the differences between EF 6 and EF Core, see [Compare EF 6 and EF Core](/ef/efcore-and-ef6/).

With Entity Framework Tools, you can create a *conceptual model* from an existing database and then graphically visualize and edit your conceptual model. Or, you can graphically create a conceptual model first, and then generate a database that supports your model. In either case, you can automatically update your model when the underlying database changes and automatically generate object-layer code for your application. Database generation and object-layer code generation are customizable.
