With the new 4.03 what is the best way to update the games if my original install files are 4.01?

The latest patch includes all patches released previously. As long as the base game is either JTS or WDS then the patch should work. The updates do not work with HPS versions.

If you don't want to patch, you can download the new installers from your store account page. That is a cleaner way to go, to be honest.

In the event of downloading the new installer in preference to patching a specific game, does or should the original game be uninstalled from the system prior to running the new installer ? Apologies in advance if this is a 'stupid question'.

Yes, it will usually prompt you to remove the existing install. Not a stupid question at all!
