Were I work we are currently using visual studio 2008 because 2010 did not include the bids stuff, I have now been asked to test out whether 2012 is any better so we have a virtual machine that I've been allowed to work on and we've got visual studio 2012 and 2012 integration services installed on it.
I tried to open one of our solutions which has various report projects in it. When I do this I get a one way upgrade option which I chose and then I get the following:
Projectname.rptproj: The application which this project type is based on was not found. Please try this link for further information: link
This link doesn't work properly and I can't seem to find very much on this for visual studio 2012 am I missing something here? Thanks in advance for any help.

From the Tools menu, select Extensions and Updates > Online. In the center column, select Microsoft Reporting Services Projects > Download from the displayed extensions. For SSDT, See Download SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT).
SSRS is not a part of VS2013, it is part of SQL Server. You need the BI Dev Studio installed in order to be able to open SSRS projects (rptproj). It uses VS2013 just as a shell similar to what other products do... Z.D.
I think quickest way is to go to the Solution Explorer window, right click on your PROJECT and go to Properties. It will open the deployment window and the very last option should be TargetServerVersion that will allow you to change the Target version.
Microsoft has recently released the tools necessary to open and create .rptproj projects in VS2012: Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools - Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2012
