It is very possible to run visual basic 6.0 and visual basic .net  on the same computer.There are many who run Visual Basic6 on the same laptop/computer  that has Visual Basic.Net  installed.In fact , one of the knowledge base articles provided by Microsoft Support has  highly suggested and recommended to have them both on the same computer or laptop, as it helps during upgradation of projects from one to another one.

Fortunately, both  VB and VB.NET can be run on the same computer/laptop. This can be done without any thoughts or considerations. In fact, there are many professionals who run visual basic 6 on the same hardware as the one on which visual basic.Net is installed. Microsoft Support has also highly suggested and recommended in  one of its knowledge based article to run both of these as they help while project upgradations.

Just to remind you, Visual Basic is a third generation programming language and which is event driven. As part of COM programming model, it is present in the integrated development environment from Microsoft (IDE)

On the other hand, visual basic.NET is programming language based on the object oriented concept.It is often seen as one which evolved from classical visual Basic and has been implemented on the .NET framework.
