I’m retaking SQL. Says some things won’t work properly. Should I leave it alone or update? do I need to remove the old one first?

Thank you !!

Hi,  
What is the message exactly and in what context ?  
You should update for security and features mostly.  
You may want not to to be on par with the course version for instance.

Up to you . I’d personnaly not care about the course version and install the latest.
