It should be uneventful, and you can usually just overwrite the install, downgrading is just as easy.
You should also probably always copy the entire install if you are unsure what you are doing, and not pick and choose folders, or forget to copy index.php etc.
Now some people seem to have a ton of trouble with permissions but that is usually easily fixed if you know anything about your host, and unix permissions, or not using and ftp account in the same group as php etc.
Also if you use alot of advanced plugins that have their own editors, I would be sure to test it out first.
