Differences with visual studio 2010 express and 2012 express for opening a c# project

Question

I used the express 2010 version for work for a few months before upgrading my system to Windows 8 and visual studio 12 express. I tried running the visual studio for windows 8 but when i try to open my c# project from my 2010 it tells me that this edition only supports window store apps.

My question is which VS 2012 express version allows me to work on my C# projects?

Answer 1

You have VS2012 Express for Windows 8, what you want is VS2012 Express for Windows Desktop
