Should I install VS 2017 Community and VS 2017 Enterprise side by side?

0

I am running Windows 10 x64 in VMWare where I use Visual Studio 2017 Community Edition for development purposes.

However I need to use some features of Visual Studio 2017 Enterprise Edition for special cases. I am looking at installing it.

My question is

  1. Will installing VS 2017 Enterprise side by side with VS 2017 Community have any negative performance impact on my machine even if I use them one at a time for my development purposes?

OR

  1. Should I use a separate virtual machine for VS 2017 Enterprise installation?

Thanks in advance.

IIRC Enterprise contains all features. Why bother installing both when you have an Enterprise license? – Daniel B – 2017-07-13T11:55:03.883

Space is not a concern. RAM and CPU is. Enterprise has more feature sets which require more ram and cpu processing. Needless to say I'm constrained on RAM and CPU – Hamza Ahmed Zia – 2017-07-13T13:21:20.030
