I have BIAB2012 installed at a non-default location (D:\BB). I've ordered the USB HD (EverythingPak) version of BIAB2014, which I hope is delivered soon. In the meantime, PGMusic has e-mailed me a link to a download page (and a serial number), so that I could download everything and get started right away.

But, there is A LOT to download. While I wait for the HD, I would just like to look at/learn the GUI and perhaps run a few lesson add-ons that I've also ordered (and have already downloaded). What would be the minimum, essential files to download in order to do that?

My guess is that, at a minumum, I would need to download "Band-in-a-Box and RealBand 2014 Full (Windows)", and perhaps the "2014 Bonus 6 PAK (Windows)". Everything else seems to be either the Real Tracks themselves (which I already have many of with my 2012 installation), the Master RealTracks Installer 2014, the Hi-Q Instruments - SampleTank - Set 2 (Windows), and the Audio Style Demos.

So can I just install those 2 files over my existing BIAB2012 files in order to get a basic look at BIAB2014? Or will that screw something up so that neither 2014 or 2012 will run? Finally, will I then be able to install the whole shebang off the HD to D:\BB (when it comes) without causing any problems?

Like I said, I just want to get a "sneak peek" at the GUI and perhaps run some lessons - but not at the expense of causing problems when I do a full install with the HD.

Thanks!
