Maybe I missed something, but you decided on 2 options:

1. Install both versions if possible side-by-side, or use VirtualBox for 
4.13
2. Upgrade so you only need one version.

That second option was as simple as:

-Make a copy of your file (should always exist anyway)
-Install 3.11 & Open your file
-Actions > Check & Repair > Check & Repair All
-Make a copy of the upgraded file (just in case)
-Install 4.13 & Open your file
-Actions > Check & Repair > Check & Repair All

You're going to have to do those steps eventually.
They aren't any more time consuming than Option 1.

Too late now.

Still, perhaps I misunderstood the original post.

Regards,
Adrien
