On Windows, I've found that it is actually better to uninstall the old version first. Uninstalling removes file associations for .Rdata and other files even if a more recent version of R is present (although perhaps there is a way to tell it not to) but this won't be a problem if you do it in the following order:
3) uninstall the old version 1) install the new version 2) copy all or the libraries that you installed later from the "library" folder of older version to the new version 4) do a library update in the new version
