Update to latest while preserving version 23.0

As mentioned many times before; as soon as you or I update to v23.2 we lose access to all our projects created in v23.0 (build 63). To get the best of both worlds, how do I keep up to date with the latest installation for new projects, AND keep v23.0 installed?

If this is possible; would I be able to open both versions simultaneously for the purpose of copying material from 23.0 and pasting it into 23.2?

Delete the Media Cache and Media Cache files before importing into a new project:

Are you talking about in the Start screen, the listing of projects?

As there's an option about that in the Preferences ... or there can be an issue if Premiere isn't able to update the user settings, due typically to permissions issues, as it normally wants to do.

Everyone's mileage always varies ...

I'm guilty of asking 2 questions in 1, and I'm a bit lost in what you're saying in your answer.

What I'm talking about is when I updated to 23.1 my past projects got about 75% through the opening stage, then the whole thing froze. Its refusal to open alien projects is well documented. What I'm asking is how do I tell my CC management software to install the updates but leave 23.0 untouched.

Installed 23.2 today. I 'opened' a basic animated logo project - the traditional way - out of interest of compatibility. Strangely, it managed to 'open' the project, which is more than 23.1 managed, the only element missing was a 3rd party transition. The logo's parts seemed to have been found, but my preview screen was blank. The sound sample played though. Very weird.

I closed that and went for your import suggestion instead. The progress bar zipped up to 69%, then has been stationary for the last 20 minutes. I did Peru Bob's cache clearance yesterday, but I may have to do this again.
I'm not talking about hours of 4k footage in the project that I'm trying to import - it's approx 5 or 6 PNG & JPEG images, animated with basic motion keyframes. About 30 minutes in freeze mode now, how long will I have to wait to import a 90-minute multi camera UHD project?

Strange, a project with 5 or 6 png/jpg images should import directly. Since it happens on several projects it seems to be a hardware issue of some kind. More details is required, such as OS, CPU, GPU, info about internal and external drives. (How much free space, how are they connected, HDD or SSD)
