How to call multiple form in Mainform in particular area without changing Mainform Layout

Question

I tried using MDIParent form.
But read that MDI is not good practise to use.

So there is another idea of using UserControl. which works fine
but I have already created several forms so what would be the solution for this.

Do I need to convert all forms to UserControl or there is another way to call multiple forms in Mainform at particular location only(dock).

I dont want to use tabcontol either.

Thank you in advance
