Doubt to update

Hi Folks, I wanted to ask what is the best way to do a version update when you have installed games, is it better to start from a clean version again or can you overwrite the files without any kind of problem? I ask this because I find it half tedious every time I want to install a new version having to reinstall all the games with their updates and their dlcs. Thank you so much!

Just extract and replace all files from the newer builds
