Hi,

Regards,

Yes. it is possible to install both Netbeans 11 and Netbeans 8 in Windows.
In fact, you can have multiple minor versions installed (11.1, 11.2,
11.3-beta, etc.) and alternate distributions (Openbeans). This is what my
taskbar looks like at the moment:

The only requirement of course is that you choose a different installation
folder for each one.
They won't be affected by each other because they have their own
userdir/cachedir, please take a look at these resources:

For what it's worth, I have both NetBeans 8.2 and 11.1 on my MacBook (macOS
Catalina). I thought about removing 8.2 but haven't gotten around to it. I
experience occasional glitches in 11.1, but nothing major enough to
convince me to fully revert to 8.2.
On this Windows 10 computer that I'm using right now, though, I installed
11.2. I thought about installing 8.2 so I could work on Fortran programs,
but then Hans suggested enabling the 8.2 plugin portal.

Why would that not be possible?
I have had multiple versions of NetBeans installed for many years.
