Is it safe to uninstall previous version?

Post by pledden »

I have just upgraded from Paint shop Pro Ultimate 2021 to the 2022 version, I would like to uninstall the 2021 version but years ago I had the problem that the uninstall process deleted some of the newer programme, If I did unininstall should I use the Windows uninstaller or Revo Uninstaller. I am running Windows 11 64 bit. Thank you.
Regards,

You might want to hang on to PSP2021 for awhile, at least until you have used 2022 for some time. If you run into bugs or other issues with 2022 that impede your normal workflow then at least you will have 2021 to fall back on.

All versions of PSP co-exist peacefully with all other versions, so there really is no need to uninstall previous versions unless you are really short of hard drive storage.

Uninstall deletes all resources coming with 2021 but does not touch the new program. Move the resources to another place (external folders) before you uninstall.
