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?
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.
The difference between version 159900 and 169900 is a minor feature, allowing the upgrade from pre-HD wallets or not. It is unlikely to matter for an end user.
Both versions imply the wallet was last created or upgraded using a Bitcoin Core version from 2018 or later.
