Moving Your Data and MC Database On Windows
When you install MC for Windows, it will find your old database, copy it and use it.  It should just work when you run it.  You can also choose to move your settings.

On Mac or Linux
You will need to restore a backup from your previous version.   MC makes them automatically.  Search for files ending in .zip.

Backups can now contain settings and thumbnails.

What About Your Old Version?
Keep it as long as you want.  Uninstall it when you're happy with your new version.  Uninstalling doesn't affect the new version or your data.
