Message is quite clear, but "If you do not understand this message, you should
choose "Continue"." says too little and indirectly states, that user is dumb.
I've read previous thread and discussion in lyx-devel. Maybe this sentence can
be replayced with warning about not working LyX? Something like "Not upgrading
MiKTeX can leave LyX in not working condition" ("can broke LyX" would be more
simple to understand, but isn't correct technically, as I understand). This
sentence informs user, why it should upgrade, not only urges to upgrade. Such
warning can be compromise with Uwe too, I think :).
And congratulations with release of such good program.

Dear all,
I have two separate questions:
1. If no edits are made to the following dialog, do you believe the
dialog would be confusing to the *average* LyX user on Windows during
the LyX 2.3.0 installation process?
LyX requires MiKTeX 2.9 or later. Your version is X.X.
Choose "Continue" to automatically update MiKTeX now,
or "Cancel" to stop the LyX installation. If you do not
understand this message, you should choose "Continue".
Cancel Continue
2. Do you have any suggested edits to improve the clarity of the above
message to the *average* LyX user on Windows?
Note that this email follows a previous thread [1]. If you did not
follow that thread, no problem at all since it would be good to have a
fresh view.
Thank you for your help!
Scott
