As long as those customizations are in your vimfiles directory (in
your one profile rather than in C:\Program Files or wherever Vim is
installed), they should stick around. A word of caution, though: I
just uninstalled my copy of 7.4 (the default Windows package provided
by vim.org), and it "helpfully" asked me if I'd like it to delete my
vimfiles folder. I made sure to tell it no.
