One important step is missing in all answers  I successfully upgraded with following steps    stop apache service with wamp stack manager  rename your wampstack php dir to wampstack php old copy new php dir to wampstack  replace wampstack php php ini by wampstack php old php ini test and fix any error with php -v  for example missing extensions   optional  update php version in wampstack properties ini Replace wampstack apache bin php7ts dll by wampstack php php7ts dll   This is not mentioned in the other answers but you need this to use the right php version in apache   start apache service

WAMP server generally provide addond for different php mysql versions  However you mentioned you have downloaded latest wamp server  As of now  latest Wamp server v2 5 provide PHP version 5 5 12  So you need to upgrade it manually as follow    Download binaries on php net Extract all files in a new folder   C  wamp bin php php5 5 27  Copy the wampserver conf from another php folder  like php php5 5 12   to the new folder Rename php ini-development file to phpForApache ini Done   Restart WampServer   Right Mouseclick on trayicon  Exit    Although not asked  I d recommend to vagrant puppet or docker for local development  Check puphpet com for details  It has slight learning curve but it will give you much better control of different versions of every tool
