You shouldn't need to restart as long as the install type didn't change.
There are two paths you can take. Both involve doing this first.
Stop Jellyfin. Backup C:\ProgramData\Jellyfin.
Path 1: After backing up the ProgramData folder for Jellyfin, edit C:\ProgramData\Jellyfin\Server\config\system.xml
Switch this value from false to true.
Path 2: Complete the wizard. I think it will reset your admin credentials, but IIRC it should retain your library. Worst case we still have the backup.
For the record, ALWAYS backup your settings and database. Even for routine upgrades. Thousands and thousands of Windows users will have seamless upgrades. For some reason 0.1% won't.
