disable c++11 features in vs2013

Question

Is there a way to disable c++11 features when writing code in vs 2013 , I want my code to also compile on older compiles like vs2008.

I tired to change via: project->properties->general->platform tool-set, and change "Visual Studio 2013 (v120)" to something older , but this is the only thing i have in the drop down menu there .

Visual Studio 2015 Update 3 introduces two new switches (/std:c++14 and /std:c++latest) to give you control over the version of the C++ programming language you want to use in your projects. In this update, if you specify a language version that isn’t any of those, the compiler will ignore the switch (with a warning) and default to C++14.
