Margaret, v9 doesn't "delete" v8 - it installs over it, like practically every other program does when upgrading.
You can run v7 and v9 side-by-side but the files are not compatible. You will have to covert a v7 file to the v9 format and in v9 you will need to make a gedcom to import into v7, which can lose several things like shared events, hashtags, history list, bookmarks, relationships, etc. Did you realize that LTools doesn't fully support the v7 database, particularly events? It should work with the v8 or v9 database (except for events). I haven't tried it yet.
