both 2020 and 2021 on one computer

I just purchased a new computer and want to make sure I can have both the 2020 and 2021 premium Magix Music Maker programs on this computer at once. I know I read the answer somewhere in this forum but for the life of me, I can't find it. If I can do this what is the exact procedure to do this. I now have Win 10, 64b, lots of space and memory and a ssd and hdd. Thanks in advance for helping me out. Ginny

Yes, MM 2021 and 2020 can happily co-exist on the same computer, partly because 2020 is 32 bit only and 2021 is 64 bit only, so different installation locations.

However, on installing 2021 make sure you select the option to "keep" or "not remove" the 2020 version (I can't remember the actual wording on the screen that appears). I have both 2020 and 2021 installed and usable on this machine

Just be aware that the 2021 version is not without its problems! See this post.

@emmrecs Thank You so much for answering my question quickly. I was pretty sure that it could be done, but needed verification on the process because the last time, on my old computer, I chose to remove the old version...dummy me. By the time I figured it all out, my head and my computer were in a tizzy. Again, thanks
