Hi Erik,
Welcome to the platform. It is true that you cannot open up a project in an older version of Mendix, like opening a 6.10 project in 6.6. All versions of Mendix can be found at this page here from the app store:
https://appstore.home.mendix.com/link/modelers/
In this case, you could download version 6.10 from the list and then open the project in that version. I do recommend using version 6.10 when doing the training as that way all the examples and the screenshots will match exactly. The training screenshots are being updated to version 7 currently, so you could certainly use the latest and greatest version but things might not look 100% the same.
To open up a project in a new version, open up the Mendix Modeler of the version you want to use, then go to 'open' and find your project. The conversion will then happen automatically.
Best,
Rob
