I currently run bitcoin v0.8.6-beta on this PC and received note that it is obsolete.

Last time that I installed bitcoin wallet software, I think that it re indexed all blocks and that took 3 or 4 days.

I would like to know, if I install newest version (bitcoin-0.10.2), will it again need to re index all blocks?

it should not if your chain is not corrupted and you shut it down cleanly first. The databases are forward compatible.

If a reindex is taking 3 or 4 days your computer is very slow or there is something wrong with it. On a several year old desktop (3.2GHz quad core with SSD) I can download and fully sync in about 3 _hours_ with the current software; and reindexing is somewhat faster.

Recently my laptop (1.9GHz dual core) took ~5 hours to synchronize ~3 weeks of blocks.

My PC is 3.1 GHz dual core and it synchronizes 1 day worth of blocks within 10-20 minutes.
