My Windows 10 PC shows four versions of Lightroom installed in the Apps list as follows:

 

I'm suing Lightroom 6.13 (an old stand alone version of Lightroom).  Can I safely uninstall LR 3.5, LR 4 and LR 5 without affecting the functionally of my LR 6.13?

You also may like to un-install all of them (3,4,5,&6.13), then install v6.14 from this link-

    LR 6.14 only added some new cameras.  I don't need it.  I uninstalled 3.5, 4 amd 5 and all still works fine.

     

    Thanks to all.

    The link Rob posted will not be available for ever so it would be a good idea to download the installer and keep it safe in the event you ever need to reinstall.

      Yes, once Lr 6.13 has all your work.

        Thanks.  I only retain the current year's photos in my LR catalog.  I have many years of backups of the RAW files and the xmp files that go with them.  Thus, it seems that I can uninstall LR 3.5, 4 and 5 and still be good to go.

        It may be possible to use Lr 6.13 to import the Catalog files from 3,4 +5 into Lr6.13.

        If the images are still in the original folders this is possible.

        Provide additional details and help in the forum should be available.
