i just bought videostudio 2020 ultimate cd version and am just waiting for it to arrive in the post.
when i install it i was hoping to be able to compare it to videostudio 2019 that i already have installed.
will installing 2020 remove 2019?
i dont want to remove 2019 yet until im convinced its better!
can i install videostudio 2020 without removing 2019

Re: can i install videostudio 2020 without removing 2019
Hi
Many users do install multiple versions of the program with little or no problems
I would recommend installing from oldest to newest versions.
So yes you should be able to install 2020 and retain 2019, you can of course only run one version at a time.
There is one issue that projects created and saved using 2020 cannot be opened using 2019 or in fact any earlier version, no backwards compatibility.
So if you wish to use a 2019 project in 2020 first use Windows Explorer to create a copy, I usually add 2020 to the project name. At least you do not corrupt the original 2019 project.
