From there, follow the steps in the setup wizard. It is okay to just accept the defaults when in doubt.

If you want to keep all your settings, simply tick the box `Only show new options` in the installation wizard (see screenshots above). Here, "new options" refer to the options that were not available in the previous, installed version.
