    <p>You can and you shouldn't encounter any problems. AFAIK whole XAMPP is build from blocks of separate services. MySQL resides (whole, with data, configuration, etc.) in mysql subfolder. I must admit, that I'm writing theoretically, cause I haven't been doing something like that (but I'm about to update phpMyAdmin and will use the same steps). But I would follow these steps:</p> <ol> <li><p>Turn off everything about XAMPP (all servers you've started up).</p></li> <li><p>If you have MySQL installed as service (tick "Svc" next to "MySQL" checked) -- uninstall it (uncheck).</p></li> <li><p>Rename "mysql" folder inside XAMPP to "mysql_old" or something similar,</p></li> <li><p>Create new "mysql" folder and install freshly new MySQL into it, using installer or guide provided by MySQL.</p></li> <li><p>Configure, what you have to configure (inside MySQL), startup MySQL from XAMPP Control Panel or by other ways, install it as a service (mark "Svc" checkbox), if you wish so.</p></li> <li><p>Check, if everything is OK. If yes, delete "mysql_old" folder from your XAMPP installation.</p></li> </ol> <p>As for data migration (if you have any), you can do this by either exporting data from old MySQL (before installing new version, i.e. before executing above steps) using phpMyAdmin or similar tool and then importing it into new version of MySQL. Or you can consider a bruteforce mode, that is - copying whole contents of mysql_old/data folder to mysql/data folder. But no guarantee, this will work.</p>
