working with old and new versions of Fusion 360

Hello I have been using my MacBook for my fusion 360 cad, cam, nc, file creations. and using Brackets and python to machine on my bench top cnc. Small time hoppy stuff. So now I have mac mini with the updated version of Fusion 360.  Today I tried to open the file I created on the mac mini on my MacBook and it wouldn't open. 

 

How do I open the new version files on my older MacBook? 

 

I tried looking for older versions of my file but it didn't work.

 

Thank you for your help

I'm including the file I want to move to my MacBook.

Unless you can update the version of Fusion 360, on your older computer, then you will have to open newer files using a neutral file format such as STEP.  You open your file on your newer machine, go to File, Export and save as a STEP file, or other format you like better, then you can open it in the older version of Fusion 360.  I have no way of verifying this path but I pretty sure it will work.
