I am currently running Binami WAMP as my local development environment. Bitnami has terminated WAMP development, so I would like to move to WampServer, the best current WAMP, also upgrading PHP from 7.4 to the latest PHP 8.
My question: is there a way to install WampServer without destroying Bitnami WAMP, so that if I find a serious problem I can return to Bitnami WAMP? I'm assuming I don't have to make any changes to any of the configuration files for this migration, other than for changes in WAMP pathnames.
My plan is to turn off the Bitnami Apache and MySQL services before installing WampServer, but is that sufficient to avoid an irreversible move? The Bitnami service names are wampstackApache and wampstackMySQL.
