c++ how do you open folder as a project in visual studio?

I have a folder which is a c++ project but it's not a visual studio project.

How can I open the folder as a project or convert it into a visual studio project, so that I can make it?

There's no vcproj or sln files, which is expected. I'm familiar with Visual Studio and would like to take advantage of that environment.

Only latest Visual Studio release (like 2017) supports such a feature (solution-less Solution Explorer),

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/ide/develop-code-in-visual-studio-without-projects-or-solutions

But if you need debugging or other IDE features, it might not come without a solution. (You should try Visual Studio Code, plus its C++ extension, which should work better in the solution-less scenarios).
