Installing V13 - uninstall v12?

When installing v13 should I uninstall v12 first or can I have both versions installed on the computer in different directories with different libraries? Or should I just get rid of v12 and just update all my current files to v13? Not sure what to do as this is first time I have done an update on a version.

Arcadia I have versions 7 to 13 loaded and no problems.
I would keep your v12, you never know when you may need to use it specifically.

Thanks Rod. And I assume you have different library's for each version?

I have developed my own library with many parts from the 4D Library.
I have not used any ArchiCAD default library since v6.5. Instead all default libraries
are kept as masters which I borrow/copy from to my my library.
I duplicate my library and update the current default library Macro Folder with each new version.
May sound complex but no more than remembering to load migration libraries.
Library development is a constant process of improvement.
