Update unreal 5.03 to 5.1

Hi, I have been using unreal engine 5.03 for a few projects but want to install 5.1 however I do not have enough room on my laptop at the minute as 5.1 requires 50+ GB. Should I just uninstall 5.03 so I can then install 5.1 as all my future projects will most likely be on 5.1. I’m just wondering in case uninstalling the previous version could cause any issues. Thanks for anyone that can help

It shouldn’t cause any issues as far as I know. When installing the new 5.1 version, you can simply convert the older projects into newer ones for the latest version.

Remember that plugins may not carry over if they have dependencies on the 5.0.3 version.

Ok thank you so much for your help I just wasn’t sure and wanted to make sure :slight_smile:

  1. Backup
  2. Backup your Backup
  3. do a test run on 5.1
