Can Node.js LTS version support global packages downloaded using latest current version?

I installed several node.js global packages using v14.2.0 current version. Recently, I downgraded to LTS 12.6.3 version. The global packages installed using v14.2.0 current version remains there.

Can Node.js LTS version support global packages downloaded using current version? Do I have to uninstall and reinstall the global packages? Any side effect if I don't?

You have installed global packages bynode/npm. Suppose you have installed bodyparser package by node(v14.2.0). Later you downgrades to version (12.6.3). If any code of bodyparser depends on LTS 12.6.3 then it will not compile. Otherwise it is ok 👍 . Any module of your current package 📦(when you installed) depends on v14.2.0 then it will surely cause problem. For more information you can read docs of the package you have installed.
