Advice on installing Office 2013 when I have Office 2010

[larrens]

I currently have Microsoft Office 2010 installed on my PC (Win7).



I am about to upgrade to Office 2013.

I understand that installing 2013 will not “upgrade” & uninstall 2010.

What is the best process & order for installing Office 2013, uninstalling Office 2010 but ensuring the settings for Outlook (and relevant .pst & .ost) files remain unaffected?

Normally I would uninstall 2010, the install 2013.

If I do this, will all the Outlook settings to the data files and email accounts work seamlessly?
I don’t want to have to input email account settings again.

Thanks
