Upgrade 2.3->2.4 on MS-Windows

[A-Imam Al-Sammak]

Actually, in Windows, you when you install LyX 2.4 it will be kept as a new
app and LyX 2.3 will be kept so you can use both. I suggest that you keep
both formats initially till you get used to LyX 2.4. Note that you can read
files created by 2.3 using 2.4 but not vice versa. I am using 2.4  now but
with theme of 2.3 which looks nicer to me and I feel it’s better for the
eye, to do this please check my tutorial on:

Best luck.

A-Imam
