# Upgrading using the graphical interface

The steps to uninstall the HIP SDK for Windows are described in this document.

## HIP SDK upgrade

To upgrade an existing installation of the HIP SDK without preserving the
previous version, first uninstall it, then install the new version following the
instructions in {doc}`./uninstall` and
{doc}`./install` using the old and new installers
respectively.

To upgrade by installing both versions side-by-side, just run the installer of
the newer version.
