I have installed both Visual Studio 2013 and Visual Studio 2015. Projects and solutions that were created in VS2013 are opened by VS2013 as I would expect, but I would like to be able to upgrade those files so that they would be opened by VS2015 when double clicked.
How can I upgrade solution files that are in VS2013 format so that the Microsoft Visual Studio Version Selector will open them in VS2015?

To upgrade a project created in an earlier version of Visual Studio, just open the project in the latest version of Visual Studio. Visual Studio offers to upgrade the project to the current schema. If you choose No, the project doesn't get upgraded.
x will continue to be supported until January 2020. For Visual Studio 2015 and Team Foundation Server 2015, RTW is no longer supported. For Visual Studio 2013 and Team Foundation Server 2013, RTW is no longer supported.
Visual Web Developer Express is a freeware web development tool that allows developers to evaluate the web development and editing capabilities of the other Visual Studio editions at no charge.
The simplest solution IMO (also worked for 2012 and 2013) is:

Change the version in the .sln file
# Visual Studio 2013 VisualStudioVersion = 12.0.31101.0 To match whatever version you have
As of this morning my VS Enterprise is 14.0.23107.0
Example:
# Visual Studio 2015 VisualStudioVersion = 14.0.23107.0 Visual Studio 2015 Update 3 is 14.0.25420.1
