Can I Install Two Versions of PSP - X1 and X9

Post by MacKenrick »

I searched this topic but couldn't find the information. Can I install two versions of PSP on the same computer? Example: PSPX1 and PSPX9? Also, is this forum only for PSP2020 and if so is there another forum for older versions? Thank you.

Yes, you can certainly install more than one version on the same computer. Quite a few of us here have done so. One reason for doing so is that it gives us an alternative if the later version fails for some reason. Or because we think an earlier version does something a bit better than a later version.

And yes, this forum covers all versions. We often get questions about much earlier versions, going back to Jasc days...

Thank you Ken for the very quick reply. I too have been using PSP since the first free Jasc release and have installed it on every computer I've ever had (it's a must-have program for me). I use it very often but usually for very simple things and occasionally for slightly more difficult things. I'm a little ashamed to say that I have never taken the time to learn how to use it properly. That is one of the reasons for asking about the dual install. I'm jumping from X1 to X9 and need to use X1 until I learn a little more about X9. I'm very grateful for the PSP forums when I can't figure something out on my own. A great group of people.
