How to upgrade Ruby with Railsinstaller from 1.9.3-p125 to 1.9.3-p327?

The railsinstaller worked fine, but I cannot figure out how to upgrade Ruby to 1.9.3-p327 while keeping evrything else working properly. I'm new to this technology, so I apologize if the answer to this question is super obvious.

Enivironment: Windows 7 Home Premium - Service Pack 1 - 64-bit

If you don't want to change your operating system, which I would suggest as mint/ubuntu are quite easier for programming ruby, you can use pik ( https://github.com/vertiginous/pik ). I'm using it since too years on a Windows 7 Professional 64bit.

After you installed pik it'll detect your currently installed rubies. After that you can download new rubies, add them to pik and choose the ruby on every command line.

pik use 193 # to select the current ruby 1.9.3

The functionality is not as big as rvm but it's an alternative if you need to work on windows as it's the common operating system in offices.
