CodeIgniter 4 will not be backwards compatible with CodeIgniter 3.
There will be philosophical similarities, but the codebase will exploit PHP7.
There will be a section in the user guide about upgrading from CI3 to CI4, but it will definitely not be as easy as replacing the "system" folder.

Can i move files in Library, Helper, Controller and Models to Ci4 for reuse ?  Huh

3rd party or custom class's will be reusable if they work under PHP 7, but if you use some CI 3 features inside your custom libs, they may not work.

Also you better make sure that your hosting provider will run PHP 7 right now most do not they are only offering PHP 5.6.x

WOW - that is a great link because it shows the actual *version* of PHP 7 the hosting company is running.
A very good guide for which hosting companies do their updates. Thank you for posting.
