I don't know what will be the result but I would suggest before you import it to the latest one make sure to make copy if your wallet.dat first(The original wallet.dat file should be your backup)
Then use the copy backup to import to the latest version of Bitcoin core for safety purposes and I'm sure migrating won't affect anything in your wallet.

I have the 2020 .dat backed up in multipe locations so not to worried about anything happening this copy of a backup. 

I am now wondering can i just make a new backup of the wallet from core 27.1.0 and that will be it sorted.

Thanks
