Will creating a database using SQL Server Express 10 and using SQL Server Express 10.5 for running it cause any issue?

If I create my database using SQL Server Express 10 and in target system where my application needs to run SQL Server Express 10.5, will I face any problems?

On my system I have SQL Server Express 10 installed (I guess it was installed with Visual Studio 2010) after sometime I installed VS2012 and removed it couple of months later. In my application I use .\sqlexpress in the connection string, I am not sure whether this is a SQL Server 2012 Express version or a 2010 version which is being used on my system?

So I just wanted to know if moving to the new system would cause me any kind of incompatibility or weird and unpredictable results and to avoid them what do I need to install on the target machine?

And also what would be sufficient to be installed on the target system by the way?

When I search SQL Server Express, there are several versions with different sizes, which one is needed and is enough?

This is perfectly safe but you can't go back because the database will be upgraded.
