Using sos.dll in visual studio 2013

When I read docs about sos.dll @MSDN , meet the note

If you are using Visual Studio 2013, SOS.dll is supported in the Windows debugger in Visual Studio

I know how to use sos.dll in the nearest window in Visual Studio 2012. But how to use sos.dll with visual studio 2013 debugger?

From the MSDN documentation What's New for the Debugger in Visual Studio 2013 (Excerpt from the Debug With Debugging Tools for Windows Part)

SOS.dll (SOS debugging extension), which helps you debug managed programs in WinDbg, is not available from the Visual Studio IDE . See Debugging managed code using the Windows debugger

It looks like you may need to download them separately as indicated here

I could not load sos.dll in Visual Studio 2013 no matter what I tried.

Instead, I used the good old WinDbg. I know this is not an ideal answer, but it seems to be the only possible solution for debugging using sos.dll. I would really like to use sos.dll in Visual Studio 2013, but WinDbg is not so bad as soon as you learn its basics. It is really very powerful, even if you know very little about an uncontrollable world (like me).
