I can run BiaB from the external hard drive with no issues.

Do you have any special add-on paks that are currently installed on the computer's internal drive? If so, these might not be included in the upgrade and need to be copied across to the external drive.

Generally, there is no requirement to uninstall your existing version first.

Many people install the main program to the computer's internal drive but leave the RealTracks and RealDrums on the external drive. There is a setting under Options>Preferences that allows you to specify the location of these tracks.
