Two versions on same volume

[cody45]

Can I install 2010 and 2012 on the same volume?

It is possible, just watch out for two things:

1.When it comes to patch the versions, make sure it's patching the right folder.
2.Make sure they are installed seperately from each other.

If you mean the same drive yes, what I do is partition the drive and put 2010/2012 in their own partition. Then if anything goes badly wrong (apart from hard drive failure) just format the partition and re install. Never had to do it in 6-7 years but the option is there.l

Yup, and you can have as many installations of either as you like. If you install from disc/download, the "official" installation (as far as Windows is concerned) will point to the most recent one.

Thanks. How much space do I need in the new partition?
