QuestionCura wants to install every update to its own new folder, can I just use the same installation folder?
It's actually quite common for Cura users to have multiple versions of Cura installed at the same time to compare results. We removed the uninstalling during the installing flow in Cura 5.0 , because it confused users, but not having it all is also confusing.
We are working on a solution to make the decision more clear so it's easier to make.
Untill a solution is in place, you can manually uninstall your previous version of Cura with the uninstalling executable in your Cura version folder.
If you go through the flow. If you do this after you installed the new verison, your printers and profiles should be upgraded and available in the new version. If you are worried about losing them I suggest you make a back-up before upgrading.
Hope this helps 😅

In the Cura 5.8 stable release, everyone can now tune their Z seams to look better than ever. Method series users get access to new material profiles, and the base Method model now has a printer profile, meaning the whole Method series is now supported in Cura!

You are not the first one to struggle with this.
