Does Core require importing wallet .DAT files after the update is run? I lost my Dash coins after an update and now I am petrified of all updates. Maybe I should send my coins to a different wallet, update and then send them back to Core wallet?

Sorry but Bitcoin is not that worthless Dash...
We say: Bitcoin = Be your own bank, act accordingly, so prepare yourself, educate yourself to be a bank... otherwise you are just a banksters client losing his money. Sorry for you but you need an advice like this to wake the fucking up!
It should be fine, but if you don't have a backup (whether you upgrade or not), you're playing with fire.
You can update with no worries, but it's always good to have a copy of your wallet's .dat file elsewhere, from which you can recover funds regardless of a broken update (this applies to dash too, fwiw).
Thanks--a load off my mind.
