As stated previously, no need to uninstall older versions but, on a mac you can rename the version you are currently running, and then install the new version, so that you can have more than one version on your system, just in case you need to go back to an earlier one.
I have about 5 or 6 previous versions installed (called for example. "Pro Tools 2020.3", "Pro Tools 2019.10" etc.), which is definitely overkill but doesn't seem to affect my system at all.
Of course, since PT 2020, the workspace has changed and you need to update to the latest workspace version, so the older versions may not be totally compatible from now on.
I always back up my preferences, and other files like the workspace database and catalogues, using Pete Gates PT Prefs application, before I install a new verrsion, just to be sure.
