but how about the wallet.dat? it will also be replaced? I will not lose access to their coins Huh

Always have a back up of your wallet.dat and then try new things.

As I know new wallet (vanilla from Github) doesn't contain wallet.dat and there is no replace.

But I really suggest to copy wallet.dat in a safe place beforehand.

Yes, I copy wallet.dat to a usb stick and store it somewhere away from the computer - wallet.dat stores the keys to access your info on the blockchain so it doesn't have to be an up-to-date copy if you need to recover your coins, but you can hide it away in a safe and top secret place and not worry about what happens if it all goes bits up on the PC. You can also get one of those encrypted USB stick things and put it on that if you want to password protect the beast...
