Hi Dinesh,

Thanks for your post.  

In TFS, it doesn’t have a default feature which can directly migrate a team project from one collection to another collection currently. But other customer has submit this requested feature, and the product team will plan this feature. Please refer to the following methods to work around this feature. 

>>Using TFS Integration Tools (migrate a single team project to an existing collection in TFS 2013)

We can use this tool to migrate a team project to the target team project collection. But this tool will only move source code and work items. 

>>Migrating a team project collection (migrate a single team project to a new collection in TFS 2013)

We can migrate a team project collection to TFS 2013, and then delete the non-required team projects. How to do this, please refer to the following steps:

1. On TFS 2010 server, launch Team Foundation Server Administrator Console, Go to Application Tier->Team Project Collections. 
2. Select the required collection. Click Detach Collection. 
3. Backup the required team project collection database. 
4. On TFS 2013 which installed SQL Server instance, launch SQL Server Management Studio. Restore the backup file. 
5. Launch Team Foundation Server Administrator Console on TFS 2013 server, click Attach Collection. Add the required collection to TFS 2013. 
6. Delete non-required team projects.
