Force VSCode to use newer sdk?

I used the toolchain manager in the nRF Connect for Desktop application (Windows)

running the “Update Dependencies” command gives the following
=== updating nrf (nrf):
HEAD is now at d29f1ddec ncs: v1.7.0
=== updating zephyr (zephyr):
HEAD is now at f19ebe4b50 [nrf fromlist] boards: rename thingy53_nrf5340_cpuappns
=== updating mcuboot (bootloader/mcuboot):
HEAD is now at b514a319 [nrf fromlist] boot_serial: Increase BOOT_SERIAL_OUT_MAX
=== updating nrfxlib (nrfxlib):
HEAD is now at a79fdc3d doc: update changelogs for NCS 1.7.0
. . .

edit: able to update and point to the right app and v2.1.0 using West and “Welcome to nRF Connect” -> “Add an existing application”.
This led to a errors:

`app/boards/circuitdojo_feather_nrf9160_ns.conf:10: warning: attempt to assign the value ‘y’ to the undefined symbol PM_EXTERNAL_FLASH’

‘app/boards/circuitdojo_feather_nrf9160_ns.conf:11: warning: attempt to assign the value ’“W25Q32JV”‘ to the undefined symbol PM_EXTERNAL_FLASH_DEV_NAME’

’app/boards/circuitdojo_feather_nrf9160_ns.conf:13: warning: attempt to assign the value ‘0×400000’ to the undefined symbol PM_EXTERNAL_FLASH_SIZE `

After commenting as I do not need the flash
# # External flash partition defintion
/# CONFIG_PM_EXTERNAL_FLASH=y
/# CONFIG_PM_EXTERNAL_FLASH_DEV_NAME="W25Q32JV"
/# CONFIG_PM_EXTERNAL_FLASH_BASE=0x0
/# CONFIG_PM_EXTERNAL_FLASH_SIZE=0x400000

I was not able to build successfully as it broke a lot of things such as:
