Post From: Help Updating from VERY Old Version

Long time SC user but out of markets since late 2019. Currently running version 1941 32-bit (27570:27571M) on a 2 year old desktop with good specs using IB data feed.

After reviewing What's New Change Log, I realize there have been a lot of important upgrades: (1) New Chartbook file format (2) Millisecond time stamping (3) No further updates to 32-bit SC version.

What is the safest approach to transition to the most recent 64-bit version?
(A) Download the current version from the Help Menu? Or will this only provide an update to the last 32-bit version?
OR
(B) Install a fresh 64-bit version of SC in a different folder? Don't mind if it requires re-downloading data, but I really want to avoid re-building my chartbooks.
OR
(C) Do you recommend a different strategy?

Appreciate your guidance as I wasn't able to find a prior Support Thread that addressed this issue.
