UWP Collaboration and Windows 8.1 Solution

I am trying to coexist with a UWP solution and a Windows 8.1 solution. Basically, I have 2 separate solutions / projects, but using the same set of files (backward compatibility).

I am having a problem with project.json. Whenever I try to compile a Windows 8.1 solution, it always gives me this error:

Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State Error. Your project does not reference the ".NETCore, Version = v4.5.1" framework. Add a link to ".NETCore, Version = v4.5.1" in the "framework" section of your .json project, and then restart NuGet to restore. Dovetail.POS.EventLog

I read that project.json is specifically for the Windows UWP project. However, since I am compiling a Windows 8.1 project, shouldn't it take care of the .json project?

I am using Visual Studio 2015.

Is there a solution to this problem?
