WHICH CAD will not tell you if hot fixes are applied. I got this from Engineering:

Use "dir /od" to see the dates on the binary and "dir _*" which shows a file name starting with "_" that has a very precise version number, if hot fixes are loaded.

But doing a "standard" uninstall, which leaves all the FSI data and the registry intact, then doing a 10.3.4 install will be OK, and it's pretty easy. Of course, make sure you have a verified file-save before you start this.
