Downloading new version 4.17.10

I'm new to PCs and have some questions about downloading the latest version of PT4.
When I open PT4 I get a message with a link to the new version. Can I simply click on it and download the new version and it will overwrite the old version and keep all my data?
Or do I need to make a backup, uninstall the old version and install the new version and import my data?
Thanks
