I have a single switch currently in production running code: Cisco IOS Software, C3750 Software (C3750-IPBASEK9-M), Version 12.2(55)SE11, REL EASE SOFTWARE (fc3). I need to put in another temp switch for stacking, running code: Cisco IOS Software, C3750 Software (C3750-IPBASEK9-M), Version 12.2(55)SE10, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc2).
My question is, will this cause an issue when stacking both switches together?
Thanks

here is the steps :
1. You have already the switch running as master;
2. Attach the stacking cable to the rest of the member (in your case switch2)
3. Power up the member2 switch.
Stacking Rules :
1. Ensure all switches are running the same IOS version, same Feature Set (example IP Base);
2. Once all switches are up, ensure you enable "switch n priority XX"; (which one to act as Master)

My switch is not networked and connected to my PC via console cable - does it need to be networked to download my firmware file from tftp(my computer)?
I've tried different methods to access my tftp server with no luck.
#archive download-sw /overwrite tftp://10.12.3.105/c3750-ipbasek9-tar.122-55.SE11.tar
Keep getting -
ADC-Visitor#$de /reload tftp://10.12.3.105/c3750-ipbasek9-tar.122-55.SE11.tar
Could not buffer tarfile...using multiple downloads
examining image...
%Error opening tftp://10.12.3.105/c3750-ipbasek9-tar.122-55.SE11.tar (Timed out)
%Error opening flash:update/info (No such file or directory)
ERROR: Image is not a valid IOS image archive.
I believe I am downloading the correct firmware upgrade -

Switch should able to reach the TFTP Server ( or you can setup TFTP Server on your Laptop, connect one of the Switch port to laptop configure with same IP address as Swtich SVI - Follow the below guide)
check the below document guide you.
