 Today got brand new notepad++ release v8.6.3. Downloaded it. Copied [[settings-preferences-file|config.xml]] to safety, then unpacked new portable release into my install dir of c:\wintools\notepadpp\ and let 7-zip overwrite everything, once done I moved config.xml back to the same directory overwriting the new one. Finally deleted notepadpp.exe and renamed notepad++.exe to notepadpp.exe, now upgrade is complete.

+Pretty close to the previous guides, I copied npp.8.7.2.portable.x64.7z into C:\Wintools\NotepadPP\ directory, CTRL-A selected all sub dirs and files, then holding CTRL button I LMB clicked to de-select config.xml, npp.8.7.2.portable.x64.7z and shortcuts.xml files, then 7-zip unpacked the portable update .7z and answered no for the overwrite questions. Then renamed notepad++.exe to notepadPP.exe and I'm done, upgrade complete.
