[GNC] How to upgrade from 3.8 to 4.1 on Win10?

My recollection is that I just installed over the top without 
uninstalling first.

Out of curiosity I installed 3.4 on a clean Windows machine, then 
installed 4.1 (without uninstalling first) and the installer gave me the 
option to uninstall the old version first, or it would uninstall it for 
me - see attached screenshot.

I guess this rules out simultaneous versions, at least on Windows.
