I apologize if this has already been covered.

I was using MC20 and bought the license upgrade to MC21.  When MC21 was released I installed the package and now I have both version on my system which is running Windows 10.  I went to uninstall MC20, and I'm receiving a prompt to remove registry entries (checked). 

The two version are conflicting a bit.  MC20 starts up when the PC boots, but I have MC21 configured for startup.  I just want MC21 on the PC.
 

If I remove media center registry entries, will this break MC21?

Thanks

No.  Just uninstall it.

Actually I believe that it is best to first run MC20, then exit it, and then uninstall it. While MC20 is running I would also check that it definitely not set to start either Media Server or itself with Windows, just to be sure.

This is because when you run an earlier version of MC that is not the version usually run, it will register its own version of certain files, such as filters and DLLs. The MC20 version of those files need to be registered for the MC20 uninstall to work correctly and fully.

Then just run MC21 again and it will register its own versions of those files.
