People often ask if you can run older versions of Visual Studio side-by-side on the same machine.  The answer is YES you can!  You can find some documentation here:  https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms246609.aspx

 

Essentially the guidance is to install the versions from oldest to newest.  So you would install 2008 and 2010 in that order.
