[h-e-w] emacs 25.3_1 64bit install problem

[T400]

I am trying to move from ver 24 to 25. I have an  emacs.exe file in my 
version 24.3 bin directory

03/17/2013  14:52         9,055,614 emacs.exe

(working now for almost two years)

and 2 .exe files in my new version 25.3 bin directory:

09/26/2017  16:04        99,358,230 emacs-25.3.exe
09/26/2017  16:04        99,358,230 emacs.exe

These were extracted using 7-zip without any problem but they seem too 
large by a factor of 10.

They are from ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/windows/ and from the 25.3_1 
zip file. I don't know how to use gpg so I didn't check my download with 
the .sig file.

Also the directory structure is different in this new emacs version. Is 
this what it should look like?:

bin:

09/26/2017  15:59         2,377,025 addpm.exe
09/26/2017  16:04         2,549,713 ctags.exe

              10 File(s)    214,513,789 bytes

 \libexec\emacs\25.3\x86_64-w64-mingw32:

               8 File(s)     10,092,759 bytes

and then share and var subdirectories at the same level with a lot of 
deeply buried files.

My question is whether I can expect ver 25.3_1 to work if I just 
incorporate all the new stuff into my old emacs directory structure:

01/24/2017  17:57    <DIR>          bin

and can all this stuff in ~

remain there unchanged?

Thanks for any help.

p.s. Why are there two identical emacs.exe files in \bin with different 
names?
