Q32: Why Would you Recommend Re-Creating Solutions?
Ans: SharePoint 2013 provides Support for both 14 Hive and 15 Hive.Both the directories are Created by default.So if you deploy a SharePoint 2010 Solution that refers to say _layouts folder, the reference will be made to 14 Hive and not 15 Hive by default. To make the solution refer to 15 Hive’s _layouts folder you need to Re-Create the Solution in Visual Studio 2012 and fix the _layouts reference to add ’15’ into it.

e.g.
14 Hive – _/layouts/custompage.aspx
15 Hive – _/layouts/15/custompage.aspx
14 Hive – _/layouts/custompage.aspx
15 Hive – _/layouts/15/custompage.aspx
Notice the reference of 15 in _layouts folder reference.
Q33: How do you Force a Solution to be Deployed to 15 Hive and not 14 Hive?
Ans: If the solution was Created in Visual Studio 2010, you would add SharePointVersion=”15.0″ attribute in Solution’s manifest.xml file to force it to deploy in 15 Hive instead of 14 Hive.If the Solution however is Created in Visual Studio 2012, you don’t need to do anything, it gets deployed to 15 Hive by default.

Q37: Are there any Changes to Solutions deployed in \bin directory and GAC in SharePoint 2013?
Ans: You can no longer add partial trust Solution Packages to the \bin directory.Any files deployed to the \bin directory must be full trust.

c:\windows\assembly is the location for .NET versions 1.0 through 3.5 and c:\windows\microsoft.net\assembly is location for all the dlls for project Created in .NET Framework 4.0.
