I've successfully installed MinGW from the directions located here (Automated Install). But, I wanted to get the GCC version updated to 4.4. Do I simply overlay the files in my installation directory (C:\MinGW\)? If not, how do I properly install this new version of MinGW/GCC?
If this has been asked before, I'm sorry. I searched, but I was unable to find the answer (either here or on MinGW.org).
Note: I'm wanting to install the files at: http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/ under GCC Version 4 called: gcc-full-4.4.0-mingw32-bin-2.tar.lzma
I'm hoping for more feedback. I appreciate Ravadre's response but more information would also be great!

MinGW is a compiler system based on the GNU GCC and Binutils projects that compiles and links code to be run on Win32 (Windows) systems. It provides C, C++ and Fortran compilers plus other related tools. 'MinGW' refers to the "Minimalist GNU for Windows" project.
I've personally just dropped the new compiler files in, and it works like a charm (I've done it with 4.3.0 to be exact), although I can't guarantee that this is a should-do solution.
I'm talking of course about files that can be downloaded from https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/ under GCC Version 4.

The trick is to unzip those GCC files over an existing MinGW/MSYS install.
