The first question you have to ask yourself is if you need to convert at all.
Most existing VB6 projects will never be converted to .NET
I would recommend using .NET for new projects, and leave the existing ones in VB6.
Only convert your project if .NET can offer something you need and it is to much work or impossible using VB6.
To convert your project, just open it in VB.NET, and the migration wizard will start. After the migration wizard has finished, many things have to done by hand. The migration wizard will put comments in your code, which will show up in the tasks window.
Probably you are not satisfied with the code the migration wizard created for you, so there is a lot of work changing this parts as well (like converting from COM based ADO to ADO.NET, getting rid of the stuff from the VB6 compatibility class etc.)
