    I'm not a ms-windows user, but using a search engine, this page seems to
    be quite recent that describes in detail how to update and what config
    changes are needed if you switch major version

    Fundamentally they have two possible approaches:
    A) install each of the 3 products separately, configure
       them to integrate etc..
    B) get a "smart bundle" that one just install and
       then everything is ready to use

    Both approaches are perfectly fine.

    I do prefer the third option, use an OS that supplies you with the
    needed tools and they will be updated each time you do a system update. Nowadays you can kind of mimic that on ms-windows too, just use WSL.

    #A works great for the more system savy types.

    #B works great for those that just want to write
    and test some PHP and have no interest whatsoever in the
    plumbing that makes it happen.

    But frequently the last group comes back and want to
    "change something".

    It is obviously doable as the bundle is really
    just a bundle with a smart installer. All the real
    configuration options are still available somewhere
    under the hood.

    But I don't think that it is the right path.

    To me the options that make sense are:
    - stick to what the bundle provides
    - upgrade to a new version of the bundle and take
    whatever combo the bundle creator has picked
    - drop approach #B and switch to approach #A and
    spend the time to learn to install and configure
    everything

    I have tried replacing PHP folder
    I wanted to update to PHP 7.2
    So replacing the folder was good enough.

    It's good to see that you managed to solve the upgrade.
    I would recommend you update to at least version 8.0, as all the 7.x
    versions are already end of life and there will not be any security
    updates of them, which means if they find a bug it will never be fixed
    and attackers may be taking over web sites.

    EOL of 7.2 was in the end of 2020.
