I don't know the correct place for this question so I'm asking here: I have a previous version of Blender that I downloaded but was never able to use (extended illness). I would now like to download the current version and would like to know what the latest version is and I'd like to know if I have to delete the version I already have. Thank you.

You Can keep the current version but it's quite useless.

There are three current builds:

  • the main: 2.78c that you can download from the official website under download.

https://www.blender.org/download/ù

The last two are for advanced users they are unstable, so do not save any important file with this versions:

  • 2.79 testbuilds (2.78.5), downloadable from here:

http://graphicall.org/110

  • 2.8 Testbuilds (2.8), downloadable from here:

https://builder.blender.org/download/ under the red rectangle (2.8 project)

If you go to https://www.blender.org/download/ you can get the latest release version.

You don't need to uninstall previous versions you might have in your system.
