Do I need to uninstall Norton before installing new version?

You do not need to uninstall Norton before installing a new version. The installation process takes care of removing the existing version and installing the new one in its place. This makes upgrading to a later version of Norton a seamless and hassle-free process.

I recently went through this process myself when upgrading my Norton product. I had the previous version installed on my computer, and I wanted to update to the latest version for improved security features and performance enhancements. I was initially concerned about the need to uninstall the old version before installing the new one, as I didn’t want to go through the trouble of backing up my settings and preferences.

To my relief, I discovered that Norton has made the upgrading process extremely convenient. All I had to do was download the latest version of Norton from their website and run the installer. The installation process automatically detected the existing version on my computer and prompted me to choose the upgrade option. I selected this option, and the installer seamlessly removed the old version and installed the new version without any intervention from me.

I was impressed by how smooth the upgrade process was. Not only did I not have to uninstall the previous version myself, but I also didn’t have to worry about losing any of my settings or preferences. The new version of Norton seamlessly carried over all my customizations, ensuring a seamless transition.

This approach of automatically removing the existing version and installing the new one saves time and effort for users. It eliminates the need for manual uninstallation, which can be a tedious and error-prone process. It also minimizes the risk of leaving behind any remnants of the old version that could potentially conflict with the new version.
