to update you need only to reinstall the CLIENT - there is no need for a complete add on etc reinstall.
I tested the reinstall of the CLIENT and it works. --- » Prepar3D v4.5 Available Now!

Cities come to life with more detailed night lighting in v4.5
The latest update to Prepar3D is now available! Prepar3D v4.5 continues to build upon the solid foundation and advancements made to the platform by bringing new features, improvements, and fixes across the board.
Terrain night lighting has been overhauled adding greater visual detail and clarity. Highways illuminate through cityscapes like never before and sprawling urban environments come to life extending to the horizon with higher resolution night textures.
Major optimizations have been made to model loading vastly reducing load times for complex scenery add-ons. Additional enhancements were made across the entire platform ranging from smoother multiplayer animations, greater Virtual Reality (VR) performance, to improved Physically Based Rendering (PBR) lighting and color balance.
Immersive cutting-edge training across the globe in v4.5
Expanded developer features including support for PBR autogenerated vegetation, greater effects customization, and various interface updates and new services further expand Prepar3D’s open development architecture enabling richer and more customizable content.
New features added to the Professional Plus product include Distributed Interactive Simulation (DIS) auto-connection, DIS engagement lines, and Common Image Generator Interface (CIGI) collision detection expand Prepar3D’s interoperability between professional simulation platforms. Additionally, multiple improvements to SimOperator including full sound support, a real-time progress log, and object visual ribbons, helps bring interactive scenarios to life while enhancing operator situational awareness.
Take your training to new heights with Prepar3D v4.5!
For the complete details on the release, please see the What’s New below.
The following list of updates has been categorized based on the installer required. The Client installer is required for Prepar3D v4.5, however the Content, Scenery, and SDK installers are optional. You must first have Prepar3D v4 installed to utilize the Client only installer.

I tested the reinstall of the CLIENT and it works.
I've visited a couple of other forums before attempting to install and there seems to be a lot of people complaining of frame rate loss. It seems like multi-monitor setups may be most susceptible to the issue. What has been your experience so far?

Yep, I installed the client and did a test run. So far it seems to work well. I still have really long load times. Not sure if it is due to all the content I have installed. Still, no major complaints...

This may help some (not my case either)...
Disable fullscreen optimizations on the Prepar3D.exe Properties/Compatibility page.
