<![CDATA[Updating to Version 48 from 33 without loosing old version]]>Hi,
thanks to update frenzy for the last few years, I was very reluctant to update Opera once I had a version that was running and doing what I wanted.
But, with 48 there are finally some incentives to me for an update.

SO???
How do I update, transferring all my data, passwords, history, setting and so on to the new version. BUT in the same time keeping my old version intact so I can just delete 48 and keep using my old opera.
Which files, folders do I need to backup and how to reinstate these if I ever need to revert back to Version 33.

AND how to stop 48 again from auto updating

Thanks in advance

thanks for the help.
Will keep it in mind when I update my regular Opera to the new version, maybe next year

You shouldn't need to turn it on. If it's not working then something is wrong with your installation or there is a bug.

all features are enabled, but a flag to enable POP-up search itself I wasn't able to find.

Good question why the 48 portable doesn't update - will do it manually with my main browser if this test of 48 runs smooth.

Second, I guess 48 already had the search pop-up but probably not with all of the features.

Check if there is a flag to enable them.

Something I just realized now as I was looking at the changelog for the 49 Version.

The "search pop up tool" as its called in the introduction.

For some reason, I have the right click and select via the old menu - a feature which can NOT be caputered by the new snapshot feature 😞

Didn't see an option to activate it in settings

After copying the files, I found that have to reset some 48 features and enable them again - like the sidebar. Something to remember if I update my regular Opera version.

Thx for the assistance and fast help, like always leocg

See about Opera for the path to the profile directory.

and these files copying OVER the 48 version files, right?

Note that portable installations can't be set as default browser on Windows.

Then you copy old Opera's profile folder into the new one.
