Copy Visual Sudio Project
I have a Visual Studio project that I am about to start modifying to create a "second generation" of the application and I want to keep the existing version as a separate project while I develop the copy to create the new application.
How do I copy a Visual Sudio Project?

Copy/Paste the whole folder containing the project or solution. if you want to keep both version of the projects inside the same solution then you need to rename one of them (older or newer based on whether you want to name the new version same as old or not).

I think you already have an answer but to be more clear: using the windows explorer.

I have see other suggestion similar to simply copying the project but they also suggested each project needs a unique GUID and I didn't understand where to edit the GUID which will be the same for both projects if one is just a copy of the other.
I don't think it is as simple as you suggest.

You would want to change the name of the solution / Project so that you are not confused.
