is it a good choice to have Visual Studio 2017 and Visual Studio 2019 installed on the same laptop?
-
nothing to worry about with side by side installations. no need to remove 2017.
:thumbsup: . I will install them side by side
diligent hands rule....
-
I am thinking if I should remove existing Visual Studio 2017 completely from my laptop, then install clean copy of new Visual Studio 2019. any experience or lessons to share?
diligent hands rule....
I have both professional versions at work and they can coexist pretty well.
M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

as others have said, 'no problems' with both installed 'side by side', but obviously, don't upgrade a 2017 project to 2019 unless you really want to / have a backup /repo first
-
AFAIK, both versions can live together without issues; it's been like that for a few past versions of Visual Studio If you remove VS2017 from your computer, you still can target the old compiler from VS2019 (I'm not in front of my PC now so I can't confirm)
I'd rather be phishing!
I've actually never run into a case where you couldn't install two VS copies of different years side by side. I've been doing it since at least VS2008

I have 2008, 2010, 2017 and 2019 installed - not on laptop, but can't see the difference, and all work well...

Although different VS versions can coexist, I have had all sorts of weird breakages when trying to uninstall VS. Nowadays, I only run VS in a dedicated VM. It reduces my worry level.

I have Visual Studio 2010, 2012, 2013, 2015, 2017, and 2019 installed on my work PC. If the Microsoft Visual Studio Version Selector is designated as the default application to open SLN and CSPROJ files, it (apparently) looks at the solution and/or project, and determines which version of VS to use. When installing VS, start from oldest to newest, e.g., in my case I install 2010 first. My group encountered odd results when installing out of order. My guess is that each version overwrites some files with versions that are backwards compatible -- installing out of publication order replaces newer versions with older ones, so the newer versions of VS can't work.

I've been side by side as far back as '03 at my previous job, I think it was 03, 08, 10, 12, and 15. Might've been 13 not 12, I know I didn't have both of them. Never had anything on 05, because 08 was out before a requirement to support legacy platforms that stopped at 03 (NT4) went away. After that point the old version of the app had a UI control that wouldn't build on newer versions of .net. Current job I've only got 19 on this PC. Previous one had 17 and 19, but I didn't have anything still on it when I got upgraded.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?

Greetings and Best Wishes. May I comment on the Sarah Hoyt quote? I apologize ahead of time if you prefer I do not. Didn't the fellow some refer to as the "Buddha' spend his life gazing at the lint in his navel? Perhaps you don't hold him in as high regard I do. Kind Regards Cheerios

Your comment doesn't bother me at all. But while I freely admit to not knowing much about Buddhism, I don't think what's generally implied as the typical goal/result of navel gazing in the US has anything in common with the enlightenment that Buddha sought.

Greetings and Kind Regards. Thank you for your answer. If you have a moment may I further please inquire as to what you believe is the typical goal/result of navel gazing in the US? Of course if you are otherwise busy authoring code please do not hesitate to cast this post aside. Best Wishes Cheerios

Just wasting time not doing anything, and serving no higher purpose. It's a slightly more pretentious equivalent to "staring off into space" or "vegatating".
