We have very critical applications running on .NET 4.5, We want to deploy a new application built for .NET 6, Is it safe to install .NET 6 ?, The currently running applications should never stop running.

Thank you.

    .net 6 is completely separate from .net 4,*. It installs in different folders and runs side by side. Even different versions of .net core have no effect on each other.
