- Install the fresh and next OC version on a separate folder
- Run the /install folder with your current config.php, admin/config.php and .htaccess files (ensure to edit their server paths prior to run the upgrade)
- Once the upgrade completed, remove the original store path from your host file manager console
- Rename your new folder back to the old folder
- Re-edit your config.php, admin/config.php files and .htaccess with their relative paths
- Re-upload all your images
- Make a backup of your store and database again
- Ensure each extensions you have either downloaded free or purchased from the Marketplace and / or from any 3rd party websites they are compatible with the OC version you are using before installing them on your upgraded store
- All done!

Both suggestion seems logic.
What are the pros and cons of the "just copy over new files" and "make a clean install with everything" ?
Are there any DB changes in these minor version changes? If no, then why should we clean install a new version and believe in that, everything works like before? Why is it better than just copying over new files with new version?
