How to migrate VSS 2005 to TFS 2015?

Question

We use VSS 2005. Now we have TFS 2015. How to migrate all data from VSS to TFS 2015 so we keep the history?

I see that there is a guide, but it is for TFS 2008. And Microsoft says it can be outdated, so are there newer guides or some walkthrough?

Direct upgrade to TFS 2015 is not supported for anything older than 2010, so you'll upgrade first from VSS2005 to TFS 2013, then to TFS 2015.

• Upgrade from Visual SourceSafe to TFS 2013, follow article below:

• Upgrade from TFS 2013 to TFS 2015, follow:

If the history isn't vital, a tip migration is much faster and easier. – Grano
