DUAL INSTALLING 2.8 & 2.10 ?

I need some help/knowledge/info/instruction... call it what you will. 

But before I present my inquiry I feel I need to give you a little history on my experience so you'll be better able to help.

 I had 24 years in I.T. (retired). I've been into graphics on a frequent basis since 1995. I started with CorelDraw 3. When I got my own machine I started signing up as a Beta Tester for various companies. 
I got a Beta copy of Jasc Paint Shop Pro 4 (PSP Pro 4). Eventually I got Jasc PSP Pro 7 (2000), and that is what I've been using until last year when I got Corel Paint Shop Pro X6 (formerly Jasc), which I haven't really used much, and that's because there isn't many YouTube tutorials on it. I was told about Gimp. I've been learning Gimp for the last couple of weeks. 

Now for the issue that I'm posting about. As I stated... I had been an I.T. Professional since 1995. I've always been able to install 2 versions of the same Application on my machines to more easily migrate to the newer version. Why is it that I can't install Gimp 2.8 and Gimp 2.10 on the same machine? 

And please, do not reply if you are not using Gimp on Windows 10. 

Thank You for you time in reading my dilemma and replying with your experience and knowledge. 

Best Regards, StageMan
If you have V2.8.x installed normally you could install the portable version 2.10.22 from Partha's site (he hasn't released V2.10.24 yet). I have done this in the past on Windows. See the notes part way down the right-hand side of the page at the following link. The download link for the Windows portable version is further down the page:
