Convert DSW to SLN

QUICK ANSWER
Is it possible to convert DSW to SLN?
Yes - DSW converts to SLN.

The standard migration: open the .dsw in Visual Studio 2010 or 2013 (which still have the upgrade wizard); VS will generate a .sln + .vcxproj from the .dsp files automatically. Save the upgraded solution and use it in any modern Visual Studio. Then deal with API/code changes that prevent compilation on modern MSVC separately.
