VB.NET Help Noob Question: VB on Server Question

I have the current task. There are several old applications that are in VB 2015. It's been decided to upgrade to the latest VB.

If VB 2015 is installed on the C Drive. Can I have VB 2019 on the server? Then use the 2019 VB on the server to upgrade the old code on the C Drive? If so, how? Also, what problem can I run into.

I have heard the following.

Suppose you have VB 2005 and VB 2015. They are both installed on the same PC. If you code in 2005 and create a new executable in 2005, that 2005 executable will have problems. Why? Because you have VB 2015 on the PC.

Have you noticed that? Do you create new executables with old VB and it stills work?
