Apologies for basic question, but just wanted to check the following:
I have an older version (2.8.x)
I have not split my forked coins - everything has been untouched for some time.
Am I correct in thinking I can just download the latest version and it will open my current wallet by default, leaving all forked coins intact and accessible until I manage to stop being such a luddite and learn how to separate them?
Thanks in advance.

Yes, that would work fine. Always make sure you have written down your seed phrase before upgrading just in case. You'll find instructions on how to split the coins on this board of the forum when you're ready to do it. If you're not using Electrum then there is also no hurry to upgrade. Just don't open the old Electrum and surf the web at the same time.
Thanks for your help, and for your post, too, BitcoinSupremo. I've downloaded 3.0.4 and all looks good. Really must get round to sorting out splitting coins and buying a ledger s nano. Wasn't long ago it seemed like an extravagant purchase for the size of my stash. Quite a different story now...
