In general minor releases (x.y.z) install over any existing x.y.w release preserving stuff you have installed into x.y.z. In particular site-packages will be preserved. Not sure about \dev since AFAIK that is not part of the standard distribution. You could just copy E:\Python25 to be safe before you do the install.
