Will a change of PHP version on the host mess up my current install of PrestaShop?

[karant]

I need to change my PHP Version from 5.5.38 to 5.6.5+ most likely 7.1

If I do this, will this affect my Prestashop which is on the same server?

My current PrestaShop version is 1.6.1.9

Depends on the version. Prestashop supports PHP 7 from  v.1.6.1.4

PHP 7.1 will likely not work, but you have not told us what version of Prestashop you are using...  You might be ok using PHP 7.0.x, but that will depend on the PS version

Sorry about that

I am using Prestashop Version 1.6.1.9

PHP 5.6 will work, however I would suggest trying PHP 7.0.18 first, and then revert to 5.6 if 7.0 does not work
