How to upgrade from entity framework 4 to EF6?

Question

I want to create an EntityDataModel with Entity Framework 6 but every time I try I get this error:

Your project references an older version of Entity Framework.

I'm using Visual Studio 2013 and my project is Asp.net 4.5.1 web forms project. this is my web.config file, I deleted some sections of this file in order to solve the problem but all in vain.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
