Tool Palette transfering

I am updating from "15 to "17.   The procedure insructions are telling me to uninstall '15 first.  Will this interfere with transfering my old tool bars.  Being an old guy I still use the classic drawing board instead of the ribbon, if that needs special attention.  Can I save my setup?

HI @ray,

 

I have five generations of AutoCAD running on my workstation. There is no need to uninstall older versions other than for licensing reasons (review your license agreement).

 

Here is a prior post that illustrates Best Practice for installing AutoCAD 2017.
