win 7 64 bit Audacity 2.1.1.
Can the new version be installed over the old?

This page from the draft Manual for the upcoming 2.1.3 release should explain it all:

Noted, thanks. I am curious about the zip option. Wouldn't you still need to run an exe from inside the zipped version? Or is it portable?

You asked about installation. For that, download and run the installer, not the ZIP.
If you use the ZIP, after extracting all the files from the ZIP, just double-click on "audacity.exe" to launch Audacity. That "audacity.exe" is Audacity itself. There is no installer (such as audacity-win-2.1.2.exe) inside the ZIP file.
