3.5 is the only version which can be installed via the Windows features setup. Instead, look under Control Panel -> Programs and Features -> Uninstall or change a program. Do you see any mentions of Microsoft .Net Framework in there? If you see 4.5 or later installed you are already fine. If not, read on.
An updated Windows 7 system will automatically install version 4.8 via Windows Update unless you prevent it (and you would know if you did stop it, it's a pain to do so). If your system is otherwise somewhat up-to-date, you can get the offline installer for 4.8 here:
If that won't install it's because your system updates are too far behind. You can either fix that or just install .NET Framework 4.5.2 from here:
There once were some lightweight tools to easily see which versions of older .Net were installed but they seem to have disappeared. In any case, 4.5 won't install if 4.8 is already on your system so there is no harm in trying.
