>but your application code (models, views, controllers, services, etc.) should move from ASP.NET MVC to ASP.NET Core pretty smoothly.
Controllers not so much. That's actually where the biggest changes are for most projects.

ASP.NET MVC is a web framework that implements the MVC pattern, as opposed to ASP.NET Web Forms, which was control based. ASP.NET MVC versions 1-5 run on the full .NET framework.
ASP.NET Core includes MVC, and the API has stayed as close asp possible to previous versions of ASP.NET MVC. The lower level bootstrapping / hosting / middleware / config stuff is pretty different (much improved, IMO), but your application code (models, views, controllers, services, etc.) should move from ASP.NET MVC to ASP.NET Core pretty smoothly.
