In our existing project setup we are having a Visual Studio 2010 and SQL Server 2012 . Working with Code first approach as of now but it is a pain all the time as we are first designing the DB. So, want to migrate to DB first approach as that will save time. Has anyone successfully done this?

The problem is VS 2010 doesn't support SQL 2012 in EDMX because it is a higher version . It supports only until 2008.

What I have tried:

I haven't tried the DB first approach yet as i am not sure if this is a big risk.

I know there is a hack for this but I can only find this article Using LocalDB in Visual Studio 2010 | SQL Server Express WebLog[^] which appears to be broken (in my browser anyway).

Can you change to VS 2013? I know its kinda obvious, but MS offers free VS for small companies and private use which you maybe didn't know.
