UK new visa application - I need to submit my old passport with expired visa, but don't have my old passport

You have copies? This is enough. They will ask you eventually the original passport (but not all people keep it, and often authorities destroyed it, when giving you the new one).

Travel history is one point in your favour (especially if you where minor in the initial 10 year period: you have not responsibilities of being in enemy countries).

If you have long travel history after 2011, this is good. If you traveled as adult: better, and also better: with your own funds.

With you as minor, the travel history is less important. It shows up that you are used to travel, and possibly that your parents were honest (and with funds), which could help you to asses your link to your home country (possibly your parents could assist you financially), but it is difficult to asses your actual intention from such history.

So: copies should be OK. If you are at risk not to get the visa (because of other points), original passport could help, but I think not so much. Travel history is not the most important point. Check to have good documentation on the other items.
