Hi Olle,
Thanks for the reply and sorry for the late reply.

As a complete newcomer...
Is the patch upgrade simply overwriting the existing path(s) with the contents of the newer release?
Then copying back in the config(s)?
(Obviously backing up first!)

Thanks.

Good for you! :-)

In general, updating within a release version, like 5.4 and 5.5 - from 5.4.2 to 5.4.3 does not require any config changes.
When you update from 5.4.x to 5.5.x there may be both config changes and changes in database schemas, so that’s more tricky
and you will have to dig down to documentation to get advice.
