A manual easy way: let's say that your previous version is 5.4.1
At the admin level:
* copy the directory SCI_541\.atoms   as  SCI_550\.atoms (overwrite it)
* copy all your toolboxes SCI_541\contrib\*  into SCI_550\contrib 
(without overwritting both *toolbox_skeleton files)

At the user level:
* do the same for .atoms\ and  contrib\* between scilab-5.4.1 and Scilab 
5.5.0
   laying in C:\users\<username>\appData\Roaming\Scilab\*

run Scilab 5.5.0
run the ATOMS GUI
That's it.
However, obviously, this does not ensure that the previous releases of 
your toolboxes
will run correctly, dues to changes between 5.4.1. and 5.5.0 (for 
instance, the figure.pixmap
property has been removed. So if a toolbox used it, running it with 
5.5.0 will fail).

PS : this could be done and deserve a batch file or a small scilab script
