I have not seen much difference from Access 2013 to Access 2016, but you never can be too sure. I believe 2016 will open the older databases still. One trick is to create a new DB in 2016 and then import everything.
If you have older mdb databases, especially created by older than Access 2007 (I think it was 2007), they WILL NOT open in Access 2016. I've seen that issue recently.
Here's where I asked about that:

From Microsoft, they just say use an older copy of Access to convert the database to accdb format. Several other online forum postings show other having the same issue.
I suggest seriously sifting through your Access databases, and upgrade all mdb files where possible so you have no chance of hitting the issue after upgrading. I had no issues with Access 2010 or 2013, best I recall.
