VSS Migration to Azure TFVC Repo

Earlier In Azure DevOps while Creating a new project, had two options for version control.
1.Git.
2.Team Foundation Version Control.
Now , I am seeing only  one option (i.e) GIT. 

I need to create a project with tfvc as version Control for vss migration to azure TFVC Repo

I'm using visual sourcesafe explorer in my machine with version 8.050727.42

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!   
Regards,

    DavidSamuellJohnRice ,

     

    I just hit this same issue (I'm going from VSS 2005 to Azure DevOps), and found an answer.

     

    Under Organization settings, you have to turn off the Repositories > "Disable creation of TFVC repositories" setting. Microsoft is disabling creation of TFVC repos by default at the Organization level.

     

    Once you do that, when you add a new Project under the Organization, the TFVC option will appear as shown below. 

     

    HOWEVER, there is one big caveat:  Once you create a TFVC repo under a project, you cannot create another TFVC repo under that same project even if the project setting to disable TFVC repos is off.  You would have to create another project to add a separate TFVC repo.  Smh.  Just be aware of this limitation as you migrate.
