Microsoft Visual Studio Solution File, Format Version 12.00
Visual Studio 14
VisualStudioVersion = 14.0.25420.1
MinimumVisualStudioVersion = 10.0.40219.1
Does this mean that the user used Visual Studio 2014 IDE for this project? Sorry I am new to this.
If yes, can someone help me on to where to download visual studio 2014 because I am getting error (Unsupported) when opening the project on the Visual Studio 2015. Please help.
There was no VS 2014 IDE, Check this link to view the list of VS versions and update numbers.
Looks like the sln was created using VS 2015. Possibly your VS 2015 installation does not have all the features needed to open the sln. Hence the error. Try enabling the required features.[ex: here]

I want to upgrade from Visual Studio 2017 to Visual Studio 2019. Does anyone know a method to not lose my projects and settings?
You don't lose any files. your projects are saved on your computer not on a VS2017.
When you go and upgrade to Visual Studio 2019, you won't lose your files, it does it all for you.
We have a buildmachine that currently has installed Visual Studio 2010 to compile our application.
Now we have moved to Visual Studio 2015 and developers have installed it on their machines and modified the solution so it works with 2015 but the previous versions will continue to build with 2010.
I was going to install Visual Studio 2015 on the build machine but I don't know how the build machine will know that the previous branches must be built with 2010 and the new ones with 2015. With some Msbuild settings? Just looking at the sln? By other means?

Open your .sln file with Notepad. Look for Format Version on the first line which correlates with a Visual Studio version.
•Format Version 11.00 is Visual Studio 2010
•Format Version 12.00 is Visual Studio 2013 && Visual Studio 2013
For visual studio 2013 and visual studio 2015, we could find the visual studio version on the third line. like this:
visual studio 2013: VisualStudioVersion = 12.0.30501.0
visual studio 2015: VisualStudioVersion = 14.0.25420.1
As far as I know it does it looking at the ToolsVersion on every .csproj. VisualStudio is not required as MsBuild and the compiler come with the .Net Framework.
If I download from https://github.com/Windows-XAML/Template10/wiki
and open the template 10 solution in Visual Studio Community 2017 RC, it does not work.
Is it complicated to make it work easily or shall I download vs 2015?
Thanks.
Currently there is no Template 10 extension for Visual Studio 2017, only Visual Studio 2015. As a short-term work around until the Visual Studio 2017 extension is released, you can create your project in Visual Studio 2015 using the Template 10 extension and then open it in Visual Studio 2017 to develop it. There will likely be no Template 10 extension for Visual Studio 2017 until it is RTM. As of this moment, Visual Studio 2017 is Release Candidate version 5 and it is wonderful. I can assure you, since I am the author of Template 10, that Visual Studio 2017 will be fully supported # RTM. https://www.visualstudio.com/vs/visual-studio-2017-rc/

VS2015 should be just fine... VS2017RC will not work....
Is there any reason to keep Visual Studio 2013 installed after installing Visual Studio 2015? If I'm collaborating with someone using VS2013, are there any known problems if I use VS2015?
I don't see any reason to keep VS 2013. VS 2015 opens the same projects without problem.
I worked on the same project from 2 computers, one had VS 2013, other 2015 and didn't have any problem.
I have installed Visual Studio 2013 but I can't find Code Map there.
Can anyone show me where to find it?
You cannot see the Code Map as it is only exists in Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate version and not in your version which is professional.
