Okay - here is what I've done that seemed to work.
I downloaded the new version of calibre portable, which contains 4 items:
Calibre file folder
Calibre Library file folder
Calibre Setting file folder
Calibre portable application
I went into my existing calibre portable installation and deleted the Calibre file folder and the calibre application, leaving the Calibre library folder (with all my books in it) and the Calibre settings folder.
Then I copied over the new Calibre file folder and the new calibre-portable application. When I opened the new calibre-portable application, the welcome wizard launched, and I answered the few questions. Then calibre opened fully, with my existing library and all the preferences and plugins that I had set in the previous version. I don't have to use the switch library function.
Things seem to be working fine. This is probably a "six vs half-dozen" way of doing things compared to the upgrade instructions. However, my reading of those instructions caused me to copy my library, which took a long time and ultimately didn't work well. It has seemed easier to move everything but that.
