can I install and run V5 & V6 on the same computer? If I can, please tell me how to do it.
Thanks.

It's certainly not designed for that, but I think you could do it. Just ensure they're not sharing the same location for install, configuration files, or spools. I suspect that last one would be a showstopper, assuming you download spools. Spool format is incompatible between the two versions, so you'd be maintaining two separate sets. Way back when, I used to go back to v5 after testing v6, it was fine, but it's been a long time. I suspect you'd be a test subject, so I wouldn't, personally, I'd just commit. There's nothing in v5 that could ever lure me back, but I'm sure you have your reasons, or you wouldn't ask the question.
