2. close the old version (with exit from the menu). The program must not run (also not as an icon next to the clock in the system tray) because the program files cannot be overwritten then
3. install the new version in the same folder like the previous version (if you don't know where this folder is, read the helpful links below). Your data can not be overwritten because the setup does not contain any data files
4. start the new version and the data of the old version will be imported automatically
