Re-install Sibelius First 8.5
I purchased an update to Sibelius First 8 from 7 and installed that. Now I need to re-install8.5. Since this was an upgrade, do I need to install First 7 before installing 8.5? After upgrading to 8 the first time, I noted that version 7 was still present on the disk. Also the Siblius sound was in the 7 folder. I want only the version 8 on disk, but also to include Sibelius sound.
I'm not sure if you need v 7 or not. Even if you do, the software takes up very little space. It's the sound file that is large, and mostly the same between versions. So v8 uses your v7 sounds, for the most part. Why do you need to reinstall?

If you move the sounds folder, Sibelius should ask you where it is the next time you start Sibelius. Perhaps you need to restart the computer.
Unless you are on a Mac. In that case, you have to make sure you are dealing with the proper folder.
