Upgrade from Sonar X1 LE to X2 Studio

I just got Sonar X1 LE for my new Windows 7 Ultimate 64-Bit PC and I want to upgrade to Sonar X2 Studio. 1. Do I need to complete deinstall Sonar X1 LE first and if yes 2. how ?(the "uninstall X1 LE" entry under "programs" will most probably leave some remains in the registry or file systems. 3. May I keep Sonar X1 and the new installation of Sonar X2 Studio will detect it and act accordingly ? 4. Is it advisable to have all the USB-Devices like the Midi-Keyboard-Controller (Roland A800pro) and external Soundcard (PODx3) and speakers directly attached to the PC (KEF X300A)switched on during the installation that the software may detect it or is it advisable to switch them on after installation of Sonar. Sorry for that many questions at once, but better to have this in one go. Thanks a lot for your help.

    It will not hurt anything, whether you delete X1 LE or leave it before installing X2. Most of X2 will install in a separate directory (as all versions of Cakewalk products). They do share some utilities and plugins. Keep in mind if you delete X1 LE after installing X2, you may have to reinstall some shared plugins. Have all the devices connected and turned on during installation so the software will see an configure for them.
