No problems. Make backups if you nervous that the Live install will mess with your harddrives.

like said before... no problems.

Any upgrade will not replace any version you are currently using. You can have multiple versions of Live without problems. None of them will affect your saved projects and when you open a project created with an older version, when saving, it will ask if you want to rename so the file does not become damaged due to different versions.

...you missed my point. Simply put, you can use the new version without worrying about loosing or messing up your old work.

Steps you can take if you are still worried:
1. Back up all your files.
2. When asked if you want to save your project in a new version or save under a new name, choose save under new name.

I upgraded from the lite version to Live 7 and had no problems at all. I have all songs in the new version instead of renaming them and have had no problems.

Does this help?
