There is a newer version available (10.4.1). See the instructions here.

Note. If you are upgrading from version 10.1, 10.2 or 10.3 of ArcGIS for Desktop, the installation will automatically remove the old version. If you have an older version installed, please uninstall it from the Control Panel before starting the installation of version 10.4.
