Depends on your 3rd party extensions (that includes templates). When Joomla checks extensions it doesn't know if all are compatible. It is sometimes a matter of trial and error but you can create many folders in Wamp's \www folder.
e.g. \wamp64\joomlatest browser url would be localhost/joomlatest
N.B. Do not install sites in Wamp's \www itself.
You can find various versions of php and mysql for wamp at https://wampserver.aviatechno.net/
Hint
When you have successfully transferred your j3 site to wamp and it works then install the version of https://www.akeeba.com/compatibility.html for j3
You can then create a backup of files/database. Should your update fail then
1. You can create a new folder e.g. \wamp64\joomlatest2
2. Place the jpa and kickstart.php in the new folder
3. Point your browser at localhost/joomlatest2/kickstart.php and follow the install instructions.
(on wamp the database will be created by the install with the name you put in the field for database name[e.g. joomlatest2] )
e.g. \wamp64\joomlatest browser url would be localhost/joomlatest
