Then I copied over the new Calibre file folder and the new calibre-portable application.

I essentially do the same thing, but for some reason I always delete the files inside the calibre folder then copy the new files to that folder. I also just copy and replace the calibre-portable application. I never touch my library or my calibre settings folder.

I have never had the welcome wizard pop up after upgrading. If you don't mess with your calibre settings folder there is no reason you should see this pop-up.

You read the upgrade instructions correctly. It does take longer to copy your library and your settings, but it should make absolutely no difference at all which way you choose to do the upgrade.
