[Qgis-user] Open another instance of QGIS in Windows

[Nigel Berjak]

Hi Thomas

Yes. I have many instances opened concurrently with multiple projects. I 
too lost the file association with the project qgz a long time ago, due 
to me having multiple versions on my PC.

To achieve this, simply use the Windows (Start menu)/Mac (application 
menu), search for the QGIS application and version you want to use, then 
click to open a new instance.
