    Yes, as far as I know all latest release of ADK has backward compatibility however I would recommend to use version that is supported by windows OS lifecycle ( anything lesser than 1709 is not supported by MS) .

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Q&A forum.

    As agreed with GARY,older Windows with newer ADK always works,and it could be compatible with version 1809. In my lab, we ran MECM 2002 with ADK 2004 and deployed the 1809/1903 image.
