The key is to be sure and make a copy or two of the original project file - ALWAYS.
That way you always have a way to continue editing in the old version.
Once you open a project in a new version that file can never be opened in the original version again.
As long as you save a copy (or two) of the Premiere Elements project file, it will be the file with the project name followed by .prel and will be located in the main folder for your project, you can always go back to your old version if things don't work out.
I have been pretty successful opening prior versions in version 10 and in Premiere Pro.
But I always have a copy just in case something goes wrong
