      You can install one of the versions by using a custom installation destination...
      BUT I fear that both versions will use one Registry setup.

      You could try setting up a second user-name and run the two versions by one for each user.
      But even then I suspect that some 'shared' Registry stuff will intervene...

      You are really making life complicated for yourself wanting to do this 😲

        I want to

        • use SU PRO EN for my own work with all plugins and
        • SU Make DE for creating some screencast videos for beginners without plugins

        Any other suggested workflow for this?

              Another one 😉
              Using an old version?
              I have for example SU8 free in English and 2014 Make in French! ☀

              Of course it's not exactly the same but...

                        probably depends on the used virtualization software, operating system and video driver... but for screen casts FullHD is not required anyhow.

                        Alternatively you may want create a dual boot by shrinking the partition of your system disk (see "Datenträgerverwaltung") for roughly 30gb and install the OS again to a new partition residing in the free space. Be careful doing this and have a recent backup/image on an external disk.

                          I've used Hyper-V from my windows OS, do you think I should try antohter one?

                          Sounds like a "Using a sledgehammer to crack a nut." solution...

                            you may want try either the free VirtualBox or the commercial VMware Workstation (trial avail).

                            not that over-sized but the last resort if nothing else goes... btw, the EasyBCD tool (free f. personal use) might come in handy for managing and removing the multi boot options.
