I knew I could run it off a USB drive, but didn't know you could run it off the zip itself. That's unusual.

So what you're telling me is . . . I shouldn't have more than one version of Blender installed on my laptop?

I think Lobo is referring to the exe version vs. the portable zip version. If you download the portable zip version, there's no need to "install" anything. Just unzip the software to a folder and you can run it from anywhere. If you download the exe version, it will "install" the components to different areas of your system, which could impact running multiple versions of the software. You can run infinite instances of the zip version on the same system if you want to.

Ohhh, of course! I wasn't thinking of it that way. Good idea. Thanks for the update, as I'm used to having more than one version of some software "installed" on my computer, such as Poser, or DAZ|Studio (back in the day when I was using it). I just didn't consider that Blender was one software that shouldn't be "installed" more than once on the same system, even if they're different versions.
