Make a suggestion before downloading this edition.
Move your current version of the ESV to another folder, i.e., your e-Sword work folder in your (My) Documents folder, and then download the new edition. After that, either using an SQLite tool or the Tab Renamer tool, rename the Tab from ESV to either ESVPT or ESV2016, or ESV16, and also rename the file to match the new Tab name. And then finally move the older edition of the ESV back into your e-Sword Program folder. This way you will be able to compare the new edition with the older one.
Trust this information is helpful to you.
Blessings,
