How to convert .net 4.6 project to 5.0

Based on this question, I now know how to create a new project using the 5.0 framework (and have successfully done so), however is there an upgrade path to converting a 4.6 project (or earlier) to a 5.0?

I know there are a lot of changes in between the two frameworks, so maybe it has not yet been documented/developed - but I am not sure (and was unable to find the info), so figured I'd ask.

When going into project properties I am presented with:

Project Properties

Project Properties

Right click menu on project

Right click menu on project

Which are the two areas I would expect such a conversion be possible. Am I looking in the wrong place, or does the upgrade not yet exist (or even will it?)

Generally speaking, you need to create an ASP.NET 5 project and then copy-paste useful code around.

The designs (MVC, Web API and SignalR) are different, so you could not easily migrate yet. Compared to those changes, the .NET Framework vs. .NET Core/DNX changes are subtle.

.NET 5 doesn't exist yet. It is .NET 4.6 which was just released. The latest version of ASP.NET is version 5.0, which uses up to .NET 4.6. .NET Core 5 is a totally different thing, and there aren't predefined migration paths to it.

You can't just convert a regular ASP.NET 4 project to a ASP.NET 5 project since the introduction of the entirely new Core framework. You have to do it by hand yourself.
