Qt. Will pre-5.6 only work with MSVC 2013? Will other versions of MSVC never work?

ok, here's where it's getting tricky.

Until a few years ago Microsoft didn't care, if you could compile your old project with their new compiler or not 😉
In Case of Qt, that is on a version to version basis. You'll have to test it or someone else can give you a definitive answer, I sadly can't

Qt. Can I use MSVC 2013 after 5.6?

If I remember correctly, then no.
This is due to changes in the Qt Library that make explicit use of new c++ features, that the 2013 compiler does not support, at all

Can I change the qt version at the address above?

yes, it takes you to the different versions
5.12 -> https://doc.qt.io/qt-5.12/supported-platforms.html
5.6 -> https://doc.qt.io/qt-5.6/supported-platforms.html

was news for me as well 😉

You can see by version from the above site, but I want to know the information of the 5.4.0 version from 5.5.

Thank you for letting us know the information.

Is Qt Creater related to Qt Version?
I am using Qt Creater 3.4.1 while using Qt 5.4.0 Version. Can I use Qt Creater 4.10.0 Version?

Nope, QtCreator is (in almost all cases) decoupled from the Qt Version.
So you can use the newest QtC version with very old Qt Versions.

The other way around you may, eventually have some trouble

You can't use Qt Creater 4.10 with Qt 5.4 Version? Thank you.

There is no information about Qt 5.4,
If you go to the supported platform in Qt 5.5, it doesn't mention Windows 10 support. Didn't update?

Hi,

You are misinterpreting the answer from @J-Hilk. You asked if there was any relation between the Qt Creator version and the Qt version you use to build your application with. @J-Hilk correctly answered that no, there is no relation. You can use older as well as newer versions of Qt.

If you go to the supported platform in Qt 5.5, it doesn't mention Windows 10 support. Didn't update?

Windows 10 was officially released after Qt 5.5. Therefore, it's not listed on the supported platform. That does not mean it won't work on it.

Thank you. SGaist.

Ah ! I did not understand well. Can you use it?

Thank you.

Perhaps

A: Qt Version 5.4.0 + Qt Creater 3.4.1
B: Qt Version 5.4.0 + Qt Creater 4.10.0

Does the build speed differ when the development environment is A or B?
Which environment is faster?

SGaist

Both A and B should be fine.

Qt Creator is just an IDE. It has nothing to do with build speed which depends on your compiler, machine and code base but not on the IDE.
