Patrick, John missed this one. It is usually a good idea to uninstall a previous version before installation of an upgrade. This does not affect your gnucash data files or user preference files which are not removed in the uninstall of the program. In some case after an upgrade user preference may be relocated (v2.6.xx->3.x for example) and sometimes customized reports etc may need to be copied or the file renamed (see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Configuration_Locations for detail). Sometimes there are occasional changes to the data file format which also means you cannot revert to a previous version. It is usually possible within the minor series changes i.e. 2.4->3.5 but sometimes not possible to revert across major series changes 2.6.19 ->3.8.
