  No, 2023 will migrate your 2022 extras when you run it the first time.

  You should be able to but I generally wait a bit just in case new versions don't work well for me. If you still have 2022 and need to do a clean reinstall of 2023 then the extras will still be there to be migrated again.

  I generally leave one version old installed in case I have to revert later for some reason. But I uninstall  PR that go back 2 versions.

  In the past, I have found uninstalling older versions of PR left all kinds of old junk under folders like 

  c:\Users\CTaylor\AppData\Roaming\ON1\Extras 2021\
  c:\Users\CTaylor\AppData\Roaming\ON1\ON1 Photo RAW 2021\

  Once an older version of PR is uninstalled, can these folders be safely removed? They are taking up about 20 GB on my SSD.

  Thanks both Brian and Chris – you made me discover several GB sitting on my drive from all the way back to 2019. Now cleansed!
