Problem
I have installed Visual Studio 2015 Professional Edition, and my computer specs are Intel i7-3770 CPU 3.40 GHz, 8 GB RAM, and Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit. I want to upgrade my project to .NET 4.6 which is written in Visual studio 2005 .NET 2.0, but I have a serious problem about speed. After I open my project (huge project) in Visual Studio 2015 it is going crazy. Building, debugging, opening menus are too slow. Sometimes I got "not responding" message. Is it about Windows 7 or can you give me any advice about my speed problem?
