Dear customer, may I know if you have got any chance to check my reply? I am glad to help if you have any other questions.
Yes You can open VS Project 2019 with VS 2010.
Open *.sln with notepad and change second line Microsoft Visual Studio Solution File, Format Version 12.00 with this
Microsoft Visual Studio Solution File, Format Version 11.00
Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!
Visual Studio is backwards compatible. Each version of Visual Studio prior to Visual Studio 2010 is tied to a specific .NET Framework. For Visual Studio 2010, it targets .NET Framework 4 or older.
If your VS2019 project uses the new features of VS2019 or the .NET features available only in .NET 4.5 or newer, I suppose you can’t open it in VS2010. The project may be incompatible with the Visual Studio 2010.
Besides, I suggest you make a backup of the project and try to open it with VS2010. If your project meets the requirement in VS2010, there is a reasonable chance that you can open it without problems.
Sincerely,
Anna

Hi Anna,
Sorry for not replying to this post earlier.
I tried opening it on VS 2010 but it said that the versions weren't compatible since it VS 2019 is a more updated versions.
Furthermore, I was able to complete the project in time, so it all went nicely in the end.
Thanks for your help.
Best regards,
Gabriel
