As with all things, the answer is "it depends". It depends entirely on the specifics and library content of your project. No, there is no list spelling out every little thing that could impact your migration.

Your ONLY path to determining if your project is going to compile under 2019, WIHTOUT MODIFICATIONS, is to try it. If there are things that break, well, you're going to have to dig into those issues and fix them.

There is NEVER a guarantee of "smooth" success when changing out your entire tool chain.

You do not run projects in the Visual Studio IDE, you run them in Windows. And the way to check whether it runs successfully is to try it. If you want to upgrade it to build in VS2019 that is a different issue. Some of the older project files cannot be converted directly, so you may need to manually recreate the project. Again, there is a simple way to find the answer.
