There's a whole lot of EQ's out there. Here are some free eq's I like and that work well with Audacity:
Kuassa Basiq. Some might not see this as an eq, as it only has three knobs. It's tone is wonderful, however.

TDR VOS Slick EQ and TDR Nova, both from Tokyo Dawn Records. Very good, very complete and very good tone. Their other plugins are certainly worth a look too!

Toned, from LVC audio:

Melda (demo version, but not limited, besides a small message in the window that doesn't affect sound at all). Disadvantage: you need to install all the free Melda VST's, about 50 of them. See:

Or... is it better to uninstall the old version, and then install the fresh or new version? If the latter is true, then I need to copy my existing files and Plugin add-on’s correct? I was reading where there have been some issues with some functionality such as shortcuts. So then I did a search and came across an older video regarding upgrading to version 2.0.3, and that’s what prompted me to write the forum to get better instructions before doing so.
KEEP YOUR PLUGINS when upgrading Audacity:

That video is complete nonsense. The Audacity installer on Windows does not overwrite plugins you added yourself to Audacity's Plug-Ins folder if you overwrite-install to the same folder as before.
It's really a bad idea to look at YouTube videos about Audacity - we don't make any of those ourselves and we have no control over the thousands of them that are online.
This official FAQ should answer your questions:

Yes that one is an Audacity bug, which will be fixed for the eventual 2.1.3 release. However it only affects shortcuts that are in a cascading submenu.
