Projects created in older major versions of NVivo can be opened in newer major versions—e.g. you can open NVivo version 11 and 12 projects in NVivo (Release 1). When you open an older-version project a copy of the project file is created and formatted for the newer NVivo version—the original project file remains unchanged.

The application will be loaded to your Downloads folder on the dashboard. Alternatively, you can import the content from an NVivo for Mac project into an NVivo for Windows project. If you want to convert an NVivo for Mac (Version 11) project to the NVivo 12 for Windows format, you must first open (and upgrade) the project using NVivo 12 for Mac, then convert the project using NVivo 12 for Windows.
Projects from newer major versions of NVivo cannot be opened in older major versions (e.g. projects created in NVivo release 1.3 can be opened in NVivo release 1.0, but not in NVivo version 12—the previous major version). So, for example, if you are trialing NVivo (Release 1) you can open a version 12 project in it but any changes you make cannot be saved to open in NVivo version 12.
