user126964: The wallet from 2018 version,159900 to the one i have now which is version 169900,what is the difference in the two diff versions?

user48884: 169900 is a version that implements a certain feature required for upgrading older wallets to support split HD chains (introduced in version 139900). It exists because the upgrade mechanism required a new version for this necessary feature to be implemented.
The feature added is a pre-HD split keypool. This allows users who upgrade from prior to HD chain split to still use their pre-split keypool. The version number had to be incremented in order to allow the upgrade to work - it is not possible to upgrade a pre-HD split wallet to 139900, the upgrade must be to 169900.
New wallets use 169900 as their version number because it happens to be highest version number.
