Installing trial of Paid AV when already have Free

How do I install the Paid AV trial when I already have the Free version installed on my Win7 Home Prem SP1 laptop? Do I disable Free or change it in the Control Panel or what? My AVG UI gives me the option to try PRO but I don't want all the bells and whistles it has.

Thanks!

Hello Beth.
Thanks for the information.  All you need to do is just uninstall the currently installed AVG applications from the control panel and then install the paid version that you purchased from the official website or www.avg.com/downloads
Thank you.

Thanks! I'd hope there was a way to keep the Free antivirus. In case I don't want the paid version after trying it out, I'd have the free one ready to go again. No big deal just another download :)
