How to open edmx? Where to get LINQ to Entities?

Question

After Visual Studio 2013 reinstall I can't open / create edmx files

So I think I should download LINQ to Entities somewhere because I already used to try a lot of Entity related stuff...

Where can I get edmx designer for Visual Studio 2013?

Here's the link to the Entity Framework 6.0.2 Tools for Visual Studio 2012 & 2013:

Edit:

• Right-click on your project, select Add, select New Item...

• Select Data from the left pane, select ADO.NET Entity Data Model, click **Add*

• Select Empty Model and then click Finish

This should bring you to the Entity Data Model Designer where you can drag and drop entities and create relationships.
