You can restore backups from older iOS onto devices running higher iOS versions.

Why iPhone Restore may not Work:

You can only restore your iPhone from a backup that is of the same iOS version that is currently installed. So, you've upgraded to a newer iOS version. You cannot downgrade iOS versions, as of this date.
