Can you install MS SQL SVR Express 2019 on Windows SVR 2016 that already has SQL SVR 2012 Native Client and SQL SVR Compact 3.5 SP2 installed

Hi, I am trying to see if it is OK to install MS SQL SVR Express 2019 on a Windows 2016 Standard server that already has SQL Server 2012 Native Client and SQL Server Compact 3.5 SP2 ENU installed. I know it is generally OK to install and use different instances but cannot find anything stating it is OK to have all three of these installed on the same server. Please let me know if you need anything else for this. Thank you.

Yes. Don't worry about it.
They all exist in my environment, including various versions of SQL Server, OLE DB/ODBC Driver for SQL Server, everything is fine.
