How do I do version control using visual studio 2015

Question

I have created a project in VB.net using Visual Studio 2015. It all works well but needs to be improved to help users who are not computer literate and usually over 65 years old.
I now need to modify the program. I want to implement some sort of configuration control and go to version control but cannot find any help on how to do this with a existing project.
I am not a professional Software Engineer but self taught since retiring some years ago and need some help. I have been involved professionally in configuration control of hardware but not software.

What I have tried:

I have search the Internet but find articles and videos that assume your project is already available in Team Services or Team Foundation Server but do not tell you how to get them there.

Here is a good link to get you started working with Team Services.

Set up Team Services, Team Foundation Server, Visual Studio Team Services, or TFS[^]

Here is a quick vid that might help you get started adding an existing solution to TFS.

Thanks for the references.
I am upgrading to Visual Studio 2017 to use GIT control.
Found this reference https://www.visualstudio.com/en-gb/docs/git/tutorial/creatingrepo which I think should help.

Are you signing up for a paid plan or free plan?

Having upgraded to 2017 I have managed to put my old code into a GIT repo. I have created a branch that allows me to progress in a controlled manner. Thanks for all your help I will now close the question.
