I currently work with Texmaker 3.5 on Windows 7, but after reading a comment on this question I decided to update my version of Texmaker.
However, the only way I found to do this is by uninstalling my current version and getting a recent one the Internet.
Is it the only way to upgrade my Texmaker? What about my User Commands, current settings and everything? Is there a way to automatically update Texmaker?

Summing up the above comments with relevant info/Links to a full answer:
As recommended by Texmaker author, It is prefered to Notes: - Uninstall first all previous version before installing a new one to avoid any conflicts with existing one atleast on Linux.
On Windows, Uninstall using
control panelto remove the existing version. On Ubuntu Linux uninstall withSynaptic Package managerorsudo apt-get --purge remove texmaker. Never installtexmaker-datapackage on Linux.Uninstall does not remove any User Settings/Custom User Commands on both Linux and Windows since they are stored in User-profiles even after removal. But to be safe Backup of user-defined entries of autocompletion in Texmaker? and
Options-->Settings File-->Replace the settings with a New one.Automatic Check for New version of Texmaker
4.0.3- Users can now check if a new version is available via a new option in the "Help" menu. i.eHelp-->Check Update-->Check for Available versionto match the latest available version.
