- With a same seed, you can create two types of addresses in Electrum: Legacy and Segwit. You can choose Legacy for your first wallet file (you can name the file as Legacy) and the second file as Segwit (name it as Segwit).
From the same seed, you can generate address for legacy, nested segwit and native segwit as it is explained above, but about creating another wallet from electrum, you will need to generate another seed phrase.

You can manage legacy wallet on the first and segwit on the second, but these are two wallets entirely with different seed phrase, but on the same electrum wallet app.
- If you import a seed from wallet with BIP39, you will be able to create three types of wallets: Legacy, Segwit, native Segwit (with addresses start with 1, 3 and bc1). You one of three types and make a name for your wallet file. With same BIP39 seed, you will have 3 wallets if you want.
You will not be able to create the three address types at ones, you will need to choose one out of the three, while segwit is recommended for low fee.
