Upgrading from Python 3.9 to 3.10

Question

Hello, I was wondering if I need to remove my current installed python before I download the new version. Do I need to do so? or when downloading the new version it'll do it by it self? or will it keep them both installed?

What should I do?

Answer 1

It depends a lot on where and how you installed Python. In Linux, using a package manager, you just install, and it replaces the old version automatically. In Linux, compiling from source, they coexist, and you have to manage the paths.

Answer 3

Right. I don't know it in Windows, but the installation/upgrade instructions in the download page should have this info.
