You can have two different version (or more) of Visual Studio installed.

The top of the solution file says which version it was built with - but you can open a project/solution built with a previous version in a newer version and rebuild it. It will automatically convert the project for you.

You may find some things don't compile of behave slightly differently. Microsoft gives a list here

You can run both versions side by side. I currently have 2008, 2012, 2013, and 2015 all installed on my PC.
