Q: If I update to FCPX 10.0.7 what happens to my old projects?
I have been working on FCPX 10.0.5 for the last 8 months but am keen to update to the .7 version. I've read a few articles about updating and the effect on the old projects, asking if I want to update them. What will this actually do to my projects? Will they still be useable? And if for any reason I wanted to keep the .5 and .7 version can I 'hide' the .7 version to open the .5 version? (I have backed up the 10.0.5 version as a zip file)
Any help would be great, don't want to mess up my old projects but would like to keep up the newest software!
Thanks

I zip it yes, so I can't open it accidentally.
I misspoke, not Backups, Old Versions.
Your event folder looks like this
There's a current version and there's an Old Versions folder. The old versions were made with the last versions of the app you used. To get back to the old version you swap your CurrentVersion for the old version you want and launch the old version of the app. If you launch the new version of the app it will want to update the event database.
