In theory yes, but it may depend on the specific code. There are some small things that have become incompatible, so just trying to know. Even if something doesn’t work it’s very simple to adapt to work.

Obviously you won’t have access to new features automatically. Some maintenance can become more complicated. If you are using third-party external components it can be much more complicated.

    Exactly, we migrate a system here from the company, more than 1400 Units... We left Delphi 5 directly for the XE8, a lot of work but it is possible yes!

    Remember that to start, you must Re-declare the uses, in the old versions Delphi uses only "Forms" in the new pattern is "Vcl.Forms" it is interesting you migrate and already start following the new trend! Yeah, today not only does VCL have FMX too.

    I believe the main obstacles are the 3rd and Unicode components.
