I prefear to uninstall and do a clean installation from the start to make sure evrything will work as expected and also that I have installed any depencances correctly.

I typically uninstall the old version the moment the installer is done with new version, but I was talking to one of my professors and they said that for research they have codes that doesnt really run after 2016b (and it is extensive so they don't want/have the time to re-code them) but they teach a MATLAB course so for that they use the latest version so they switch back and forth （⊙ｏ⊙）

As a provider of shared software installations on a large multiuser system, we strive to avoid breaking changes, allowing users to switch to new versions if and when they are ready.
(Added later)... which means that during the entire lifetime of a system, we add new versions of Matlab (and other products) as they become available and let users choose which version they use via the "Environment Modules" system.

  • after the previous version breaks (can no longer be run in the current operating system)
