Robin,
You're absolutely right. Reinstalling a new copy of NVDA overwrites the existing version. If someone does need to do a clean uninstall, they will also need to go into the NVDA user folder and delete everything contained there as I don't think the uninstaller will wipe that stuff away. It's the user profile info stored in appdata or roaming in the user folder.

Hi,
It is my understanding that it merely replaces the earlier version. You shouldn't need to uninstall prior version before updating unless you run into a specific problem. sometimes when troubleshooting people will do a clean uninstall and reinstall but generally speaking the program will just update over itself without you needing to intervene.
I hope that helps.
And no question is embarrassing. What did all of our parents and teachers of the good variety used to say the only stupid question is the one not asked (smiles).

Okay, here's another embarrassing question, but it's something I've
been wondering about for quite some time. When a new NVDA release
comes out, is it an add-on to what I already have or does it
completely subsume previous releases? Depending on the answer to that
question, should I be uninstalling my previous version so that I'm not
using so much desktop memory?
