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.

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.
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.
Some time ago i've installed Visual Studio 2015, then I continue to install 2017.
How can I remove Visual Studio 2015 without affecting to Visual Studio 2017?
I haven't used Vs from a long time but as far as i remember, each version of VS has is own installer, so you can go to the control panel -> Application and look for the uninstaller of Visual Studio 2015, that should not affect VS2017
Good morning,
I have installed in my PC (Windows 10) Visual Studio 2015.3 and Visual Studio 2017 RC, both of them with a lot of things installed on.
Now, that Visual Studio 2017 is finally out, I want to have only and don't have Visual Studio 2017 RC or the "old" Visual Studio 2015.
I search over internet and I find how to have an off-line installation of Visual Studio 2017. Now I don't know which is the best solution between:
Uninstall All plugin like resharper or so on, restart, uninstall Visual Studio 2017 RC, Restart, Uninstall Visual Studio 2015.3, restart, install Visual Studio 2017, install all plugin
Install Visual Studio 2017, update all plugin, uninstall Visual Studio 2017 rc, uninstall Visual Studio 2015.3
Or other...is there someone that have a simil issue?
Thanks
VS 2015:
You don't have to uninstall VS 2015, and if you want to uninstall it, you can do it later, because it is completely independent from VS 2017.
VS 2017 RC:
Additionally to the update, of course it is possible to do a fresh install.
This is what I would do at least for my main development system.
Updates can be more error-prone than new installations (Consider this for example):
Can't update Visual Studio 2017 RC
If you prefer a fresh install I would take your sequence 1 (but let VS 2015, at least until VS 2017 was successful installed).
Edit: Just install the current version of Resharper instead of using old versions. Resharper for VS 2017 was not released the same day as VS 2017 itself, but some weeks later.
First: versions of Visual Studio work side by side, they do not upgrade. If you wish to remove VS2015 then you need to uninstall it.
Second: if you start up your VS2017 RC it will prompt you to update. The updater will upgrade from RC to RTM.
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.
