Right?
I have upgraded dozens of times. I have never uninstalled first. I just run the MSI file then start calibre. No need to point to anything, your settings are still there. The worse that has happened is the occasional preference is reverted back to its default.

Backing up your database on a regular basis is always a good idea and I strongly recommend you do that regardless of whether you're updating or not.

Update: I think if you are upgrading from a version older then 0.6.17 you must uninstall first, but otherwise you're fine.

Update 2: If you are happy and don't want to upgrade you can turn off the notification in Preferences - General at the top.
