Classic Install of 10.10 want's to update to 10.51, will this be "a classic install" OR

My Opera 10.10, classic install, informs me that new version is available and offers to install. If I allow this will I get
a classic install or will I get the standard Windows install , with all those folders in my "Document & Settings>Local Settings/Application Data.

AND/OR :- Is it safe to do a "classic Install" over a previous classic install?

Thanks

V.12.16, Bd.1860
NeXt v.16.0.1196.14

Personally I would stay with what you have especially if you use a classic 9 skin, or one that turns out to be incompatible with 10.51.
To ensure this happens change the autoupdate server in opera:config to 127.0.0.1 if you wish to stop updates.
I cannot log into ebay with 10.51 and the skin loses a lot of labels with 10.51, so I am back to 10.10 which is fine for my needs.

You are even lucky you get asked, it tends to update even if you say 'ask me first'. :-)

Do not overlook the marker in the lower left corner of the dialog you got up. Remove it.
If you overlook this, Opera will automatically upgrade. I suspect many has, and return here for complaints about "bad behavior" of their Opera.

On 10.51 Build:3315. > Classic Install. Now it want to update to 10.53 and even though I'm loving it

(10.51) and my present set-up, I do get occasional freezes

, which I never had with 10.10. So I'm inclined to try it but not in the mood

to re-personalise/re-customize 10.53 if it overwrites my settings in 10.51.
thanks
