There is no magic happening as such. The only thing to be aware of when uninstalling on windows is that it will of course remove the installation folder, so if you have used the python shell and installed stuff with pip in there, that will be lost of course. But that is for advanced users, and they probably know what they are doing then.
It should generally be fine to unstall a newer kicad onto an older installation of kicad. It just works as a normap copy and overwrite existing files afterall. One thing to note that could become an issue is if schematic library symbols are moves from one lib to another AND content change without renaming, then eeschema could potentionally choose the old one. But in general, both removing and then installing cleanly or just installing on top should work jusy fine.
