It won't mess anything up.... It installs lots of stuff by default.

Just make a backup and you'll be fine.

@Malware Test You can opt-out many features so it takes less space. Installed it many times without problems.

Cool Anyway i was sick of Fortran because there's no point to develop DOS apps in 21st century So i want to develop in C++ as well

Well I'm not personally use the community version but its totally safe; nothing will mess from your system.

Programming skills with complexity of codes if not handle very well for making program may cause instability from debug issue however not totally on whole OS.
