Can I install Visual Studio 2017 and Visual Studio 2015 at the same time?

Until now, I'm working in VS 2015. It's time to switch to the new 2017. The question is in the topic title. Can two different studios coexist on the same machine? If they can, will there be compatibility issues between components, environment settings. I don't want to lose the current settings of the resharper, hotkeys, add-ons, code editor, formatting, etc. etc.
Microsoft writes that:

You can install and use Visual Studio 2017 alongside previous versions of Visual Studio, including Visual Studio 2015, Visual Studio 2013, and Visua Studio 2012.

Interested in personal experience, maybe pitfalls or something. Thank you.

Yes, it’s easy, the plugins will need to be reinstalled, but otherwise the move is painless

I have been using both versions on the same machine at the same time since the release of VS2017
