Legacy 8 installation does not overwrite Legacy 7.5 as the default
locations have changed.
So you can install Legacy 8 and still use Legacy 7.5.
You can't use the same database so make sure you convert a copy of your
database in a different folder rather than your current Legacy 7.5 database.
It's expected that Legacy 9 will overwrite Legacy 8.
RE TNG, John Lisle, one of the main Legacy testers, does extensive
testing of Legacy gedcom to TNG. You're likely to get more rather than
less.
He's already been testing for Legacy 9 new features and most have been
implemented to aid upload to TNG.
Like Monique, I still miss the information pop-up on Family View that
has been replaced by the Child Scrolling Grid that I don't find anything
like as helpful. I tend to use Descendant View for a quick overview of
children now, after customising the columns.
But that's nothing to do with Gedcom.

I use Legacy (currently V7.5) as my main database, but regularly upload a
GEDCOM to my website generated by TNG. If any of the omissions impact
that,
I would like to know what they are. I have purchased V8, but no yet
installed it as I don't want to convert my data till I know what will
happen. I may not do it till V9 comes out as I will get a free upgrade,
having purchased V8 only today.
My operating system is Windows 7 (and I don't plan to go to Windows 10)
