Switch to 2.7 or having both installed?

[AnkH_82]

Hi all, I currently have 2.5.6 installed, not the open beta. Can I install the open beta 2.7 in parallel or would it be wise to remove the 2.5.6 version first? Thanks for a quick heads up.

 

Regards

Chris

You can install open beta in parallel, if not doing an in place command line "upgrade/branch switch", the open beta installer will try to copy common files form your stable install to save bandwidth, so it's best not to delete your stable files.

Make a copy of stable and put it somewhere on your computer.

And use advanced update tab to set that copy to the openbeta version and voila, you have a parallel.
