I have Visual Studio 2013 Web Exppress installed on my PC.
The installation was plain, Default and no other stuff was installed by now.
Now I have a MSDN-Subscription and want to "updgrade" to Visual Studio 2013 Pro.
What is the best way?
1) Deinstalling VS 2013 Web Express and Install VS 2013 Pro
2) Just install VS 2013 Pro over VS 2013 Web Express
If I understand it right, I don´t need Web Express when I use Pro, right?
You can just go with option 2, it's a supported scenario. However, you are correct that you'll no longer need Express, as Pro contains all the same features and more.
Note that if you've installed VS Updates for Express, you'll need to install the same VS Updates for Pro, or else some things might not work.

I already installed the Visual Studio Express 2013 For Windows Desktop to my system and now I want to install the Visual Studio Express 2013 for Web Application.
Problems:
It is possible to install both Visual Studio versions on the same system?
If I installed both software on the same system than it may occur any issues?
Even if you install both version it neither affect your machine nor slower your machine .
You can indeed install both versions side-by-side. In fact, Visual Studio is designed such that you can install not only different editions within the same version (e.g., VS 2013 for Desktop alongside VS 2013 for Web), but also different versions (e.g., a VS 2013 edition alongside a VS 2015 edition).
Check out the Installing Visual Studio Versions Side-by-Side article on MSDN. The only stipulation that Microsoft makes is that versions should be installed in the order in which they were released (e.g., install VS 2013 before VS 2015 products).
On my personal development machine, I have VS 2012 Desktop, 2013 Desktop, and VS 2015 for Web installed without any issues whatsoever. I routinely run different versions at the same time as well.
I'm trying to download XNA game Studio, but at the moment I try to install it it says this:
Note: The Hyperlink sends me to a microsoft site to download VS2013 Express edition.
I'm on Windows 8.1 x64 with a full-component installation of Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate edition.
XNA Game Studio has not been updated in many years. It requires VS 2010 C# Express or VS 2010 Pro+. There are some hacks on the Internet about how people have gotten it to work with VS 2012 and VS 2013, but it's only officially supported for VS 2010.
I need both Visual Studio 2012 Express and Visual Studio 2012 Premium installed because of licensing reasons (I downloaded Visual Studio 2012 Premium from DreamSpark).
Is it possible to have them both installed on the same machine? Won't their installations clash with each other?
I have Visual Studio Express for Web 2012 and Visual Studio Ultimate 2012 installed on the same machine, with no problems that I know of.
It is possible like Alyce sad (+1). I know some colleagues which have 3 and more VS installed. I personally installed two generation (2008 and 2012). In some case installation sequence matters. There are also several Microsoft help-sites about this theme like this one.
A couple of days ago, I installed Visual Studio Express for C#; yesterday I installed Visual Studio Ultimate. Since I will no longer use the former, is it safe to uninstall it?
I uninstalled Visual Studio Express 2012 for Web right after having installed Visual Studio 2012 Ultimate and it still works perfectly. Also tried after a reboot, just to be sure.
I just installed VS 2010 Professional Edition, then the Service Pack 1. So now I wanted to install the 7.1 RC for WP7. The first thing it tries to do is download VS 2010 Express. Is this normal? Do I really have to install 2 versions of VS to develop for WP7?
If you already have a valid and applicable edition of Visual Studio 2010 installed, then the installer installs the SDK, Expression Blend, emulator, etc. and adds the necessary project templates into your existing edition. It will not install Visual Studio 2010 Express if you have already have an existing edition, so there are no issues around multiple installs of Visual Studio.
