IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate from 13.0.3 to 13.1.1 without losing current settings

Question

I use IntellJ IDEA Ultimate Edition on Windows 7 machine.

I would like to upgrade from version 13.0.3 to 13.1.1 in a way that will keep all my existing settings and plugin setup.

Currently it's installed in JetBrains\IntelliJ IDEA 13.0.2 directory. Installation wizard gives an option to uninstall the existing version (that is not checked by default) and then suggests installing it into 13.1.1 directory.

What is the right way to install it as upgrade, so I do not lose anything?

Answer 1

You will not lose any settings by uninstalling. The settings is in C:\Users\xxx\.IntelliJIdea13
