Migrating/moving/upgrading a SharePoint 2007 project and deploying it to SharePoint 2010 with Visual Studio

Question

I have a working project in SharePoint 2007,

I need to take this project and deploy it to SharePoint 2010 using visual studio 2010.

What would be easiest way to achieve this and where should I start ?.

I have mainly worked with SharePoint 2010 so I am not sure how to take a project which works well in SharePoint 2007 and re-deploy it to SharePoint 2010.

I obviously want to avoid having to re-write the whole project as this would not be ideal.

Many thanks for any suggestions or advice.
