Upgrade Install of Komplete 10 Ultimate

Just making sure I read correctly and it jives with others' experiences. I have Komplete 8 Ultimate already installed with the sounds on a separate hard drive. I think it would be best to leave my old 8 (not uninstall it) and just load the new 10 and choose the same library path for the sounds as I have for 8 - would that be correct?

 

Yes, the K10U installer should automatically recognize if things included in K10U are already installed.
But to be safe you can also double-check and only select the new things (from K10U) for installation manually.

Thx Solger - I wonder what physically happens when I select Abbey Roads 70's drums to load from the new Ultimate 10 even though I already have the same version loaded from 8. Does it overwrite it? Place 2 files of the same thing? Ignore my request? Not sure about that one.

 

If the K10 version is newer (or has a more up-to-date version number) it will probably overwrite/update the K8 one.
Otherwise it should ignore and deselect it (like mentioned in the link I posted):

Having the same applications or libraries installed twice might only happen if you have different installation locations for the K8 and K10 files ...
