Porting Solutions from Visual Studio 2013 to Visual Studio 2017 - visual-studio-2013

Has anybody experiences on porting from Visual Studio 2013 to Visual Studio 2017? Or are there some documents? I've only found documents on porting from 2013 to 2015.
Greetings Noran

After Porting some Projects, i can tell it's no problem. No fixes were needed.

How to have separate recent projects and solutions list for Visual Studio 2017 and 2019?

My laptop has Windows 7 64-bit operating system. I have both Visual Studio Community 2017 and Visual Studio Community 2019 installed.
I am seeing that the recent projects and solutions list is shared between Visual Studio Community 2017 and Visual Studio Community 2019.
For example:
I open Visual Studio Community 2017, open a solution named
A_2017, work on it, close it and finally close Visual Studio Community 2017.
Then I open Visual Studio Community 2019, open a solution named
B_2019, work on it, close it and finally close Visual Studio Community 2019.
Now I open Visual Studio Community 2017 again and check the Recent
Projects and Solutions list and I see B_2019 as the first entry
in there although I never opened that solution with Visual Studio Community 2017.
Is it possible that recent projects and solutions list is not shared among different versions of Visual Studio? If yes please show how.
Thanks
Finally I settled with a work around. For Visual Studio 2019, I installed this extension from the marketplace https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=Danielku15.BetterStartPage2019
And created a group for VS 2019 projects and then added 2019 projects to that group.
This extension also has a version for Visual Studio 2017 as well.

Visual Studio 2017 to Visual Studio 2019

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.

How can I enable template 10 in Visual Studio community 2017 RC?

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?

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.

About saving on visual studio 2013

Hi guys im using Microsoft Visual Studio 2013, but in my college, all of the computers using microsoft visual Studio 2012. Is there is possible if i save my project (from visual studio 2013) then i open it on visual studio 2012?
Visual Studio 2013 has a feature called "Solution Round Tripping", which means that a solution created in Visual Studio 2012, under certain circumstances, can be edited by both Visual Studio 2012 and 2013.
There are limitations though, as you can't open a solution in 2012 that uses new features or frameworks that are not available in 2012. Makes sense right? Generally, when you create the solution in 2012 and then open it in 2013, your chances are high.
