The the solution/VS version matrix is:

• VS 6.0 -> 6.0
• VS 2002 -> 7.0
• VS 2003 -> 8.0
• VS 2005 -> 9.0
• VS 2008 -> 10.0
• VS 2010 -> 11.0
• VS 2012 -> 12.0
• VS 2013 -> 10.0 to 12.0
• VS 2015 -> 10.0 to 14.0
• VS 2017 -> 10.0 to 15.0
• VS 2019 -> 10.0 to 16.0

Compatibility between solutions does not guarantee compatibility between projects. Check the Visual Studio 2013 Compatibility document for more detail.
