installed V2, on top off V1? Can´t find add-ons in V2

[Kenta]

Hello
I have installed Designer and Photo V2 should I uninstall V1 of them?
I can't find my on-adds even though I reinstalled them. What am I doing wrong.
Furthermore, I cannot find Affinity photo in Win. program files but it works. There I only find Designer with very few files.

Entirely your choice.  V1 and V2 don't share any files and won't cause any issues.

Which add-ons are these?

It sounds like you downloaded the MSIX version, which installs into a separate location controlled by Windows.  You could always uninstall the version of V2 you have installed and then download the MSI/EXE installer which will install directly into Program Files.  To get the MSI/EXE versions, see this post.

Hello again and thanks for your reply.
Should I uninstall both Designer and Photo and then install them again?
The Ad-ons are the ones that came with the program, Dreamphotgrafy brushes, spray paint etc.
Another question, I can't set to millimeters permanently.
I have removed fly legs in show lines in points and show text in points in preferences. What am I doing wrong?

If you want the programs to install into Program Files, then yes i would uninstall V2 of Photo and Designer and reinstall using the MSI/EXEs.

The Dreamphotography brushes are Raster brushes so if you are looking in Designer for them, please make sure you are in the Pixel Persona and you should see them.  Same for the Spray Paint brushes.

You can't set this as a default but any documents you save that do use millimetres will still use millimetres when re-opened, as would any presets you create on the New Document window.
