Going from PT 2020.11 to 2020.12
I have Pro Tools 2020.11 loaded and running. I have downloaded PT 2020.12 but not installed it. Do I need to uninstall PT 2020.11 prior to installing PT 2020.12?
Using Windows 10 |

Welcome to the DUC! First remove the 28 Avid Pro Tools 2020.11 Stock Plug-Ins (don't remove any extra Avid Plug-Ins you may have bought) from: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Avid\Audio\Plug-Ins Then rename the Pro Tools Folder: C:\Users\Username\Documents\Pro Tools Any new name will do - I call it: C:\Users\Username\Documents\Proof Cools This saves reinstalling your 3rd-Party Plug-Ins. Check for any 3rd-Party Plug-In Updates. Uninstall Pro Tools 2020.11 in Windows ‘Programs & Features’ Run the free CCleaner: https://www.ccleaner.com/ccleaner/download Then run CCleaner Registry multiple times until there are no more issues to fix (usually needs 3 times for me) Restart computer Install Pro Tools 2020.12 Restart computer Delete the Pro Tools 2020.12 Folder: C:\Users\Username\Documents\Pro Tools Rename this Folder: C:\Users\Username\Documents\Proof Cools Call it: C:\Users\Username\Documents\Pro Tools Restart computer Launch Pro Tools

Re: Going from PT 2020.11 to 2020.12
Realise 'not uninstalling' works for some,
but Avid recommend 'uninstalling': Avid Knowledge Base - Pro Tools Installation https://avid.secure.force.com/pkb/ar...s-Installation Installation Overview: Installation of Pro Tools includes the following steps: • Creating Your Avid Master Account • Retrieving Your Pro Tools | Software License • Removing Previous Versions of Pro Tools | Software • Installing Hardware Drivers • Installing Pro Tools | Software • Starting Up or Shutting Down Your System • Launching and Authorizing Pro Tools | Software • Configuring your system for improved performance As do Sweetwater: Pro Tools Download and Install Guide https://www.sweetwater.com/sweetcare...tools-12-2018/ I realise Mac owners can have multiple installs (renaming older versions required)

Uninstalling isn't required, and in some cases there will be no advantage to it, but in *some* cases an uninstall will leave you with a more solid update. Therefore, it's suggested, but (typically) not mandatory. I tend to uninstall about 50% of the time.
Over time, unwanted files leftover from iffy updates can begin to create issues. |

Re: Going from PT 2020.11 to 2020.12
Just installed PT 2020.12.0 yesterday. Uninstalled PT 2020.11.0 from the control panel/programs and features but kept my preferences. The uninstall automatically uninstalled Avid Effects, Avid HD driver and PT 2020.11.0. Re-booted Windows 10 Home version 2004 and installed PT 2020.12.0. Seems to work great!

I run a mac, and no need to uninstall. I installed the upgrade and have been up and running with no issues.
