EDIT:  
As this topic was closed by @warkolm I cannot reply to his comment and must update.  
So this means that noone in the entire world knows how to update an elastic instance on windows?

How do I upgrade an old v7 msi installation to newest Elasticsearch? With the msi installer it was easy to upgrade and the installations does not look excactly the same, so how do I update it?

Best regards  
Rune
