The reason I say its up
to you. I learned from Debbie Scales that if you are going
to test a beta screen reader you should have an old copy of
the last version kicking around so you know there’s bugs. I
tested Jaws 5.0 that’s why you need to have a more stable
version of your screen reader should you run a muck. Debbie
Scales used to run a jaws list. She’d probably say its up to
you.

That depends on you. You
can install the beta and put it into a different folder.
Some people say you shouldn’t install over a copy. If you
are testing for bugs. If you are using it just for your own
purposes and don’t want to test for bugs then go ahead. If
you want to test for them its not a good idea. If you are
a beta tester you shouldn’t do it. That way you can better
test for bugs. Bryan might have his own ideas. I say its up
to you.

Brian,
Can I install the beta over the point 2 or
do I need to uninstall 2021.2 first.
Thanks,
Brian B.
You're new, so will not
have seen several previous conversations, but this is indeed
a bug and it's been resolved with 2021.3.
I would, at this point, strongly suggest you just update to
NVDA 2021.3beta2, as it's been working fine, fixes the
problem, and will likely go to release candidate status
shortly. But even if you were to have issues with the beta
and rolled back to 2021.2, what it fixes in regard to the
update issue stays fixed, as it's external to NVDA itself
and the fix made stays.
