[Packages] Upgrade SAMBA47 to SAMBA48

I am faced with the need to upgrade SAMBA from 4.7.12_2 to 4.8.12_3.
Currently using packages.

Am a bit unsure how to proceed. Do I need to uninstall SAMBA47 first and then install SAMBA48, keeping smb4.conf intact?
Or do I install SAMBA48 alongside my SAMBA47 installation. PKG doesn't seem to flag a conflict when I attempt to run the command (I don't follow through with it however).
Will my SAMBA users be impacted?

Thanks for the insights.

I upgrade from 4.(something) to 4.8 a short while ago using the packages. Just deleted the old in installed 4.8. Kept a copy of the smb4.conf and everything ran smoothly.

Only difference, the startup script is now samba_server.
