>>>Hi everybody,
>>>
>>>In the Programs & Features I have lots of MS Visual Studio different versions installed programs. I recently installed VS 2013 and I want to uninstall all prior versions of VS. However, there are so many entries in the Program and Features that I am wondering what should I chose to uninstall correct versions.
>>>
>>>Thanks in advance.

>>There are too many. There's more than a page for VS2013
>>
>>Before I installed VS2010 - I made a system image backup of my C: drive
>>I then installed
>>In the folder of the image backup I have a text file. In there are all the changes I do after the image backup
>>
>>eg folder on my nas drive with imagebackups

>>WindowsImageBackup_20110708

>>When I installed VS2012 I restored the image backup - Before VS2010 say WindowsImageBackup_20110708
>>Then went through all the text files of the image backup I did to install/modify
>>I can then delete all folders since WindowsImageBackup_20110708 and start again taking Image backups at certain points
>>
>>Windows puts an image backup in a folder named WindowsImageBackup - I rename it
>>
>>
>>There are a lot of Windows Updates to do
>>
>>For VS2013, I did that as well
>>
>>I take an image backup after major parts are installed

>Yesterday I had a real scare of life for me :( After I wrote that UT message (or may be even before) I went ahead and picked one of the VS 2008 (I think it was IDE tools or something like this) and uninstalled it. I then tried uninstalling VS 2010 and it showed a wizard checking the stuff, but it never did anything and my laptop slowed down considerably. So, I decided to re-start at that point. And then the laptop was not loading Windows!!!!!!! :(((

Don't interupt an install -

I don't uninstall - just go back to a previous Image of my C: drive

Oh - and all the data / my programs are on the D: drive
