Make sure that you're right - clicking an appropriate project, not the solution.

The respective UIs look almost identical; they even have the same keyboard shortcut. The one from the solution will "miss" the Data tab if you expect it to be there; e.g. from screenshots.

Also make sure, as per previous posts that you have: a. A Project that supports Entity Framework and b. You did have the appropriate tools installed.

Answer 3

Visual Studio displays available projects according to the area where you clicked. Right Click on the project's name root -> add -> new item -> Data you will be able to select ADO.NET Entity Data Model

Answer 4

Tools-->Click Get Tools and Features-->Click on Modify--> Click on Individual components--> Tick the CheckBox of Entity Framework 6 Tools -->click on Modify--> You'll get a pop up window-->click on Retry(if it not closed, Click on Continue)

Now Launch VS and this time check in Data ADO.NET Entity Model will be added.
