I'm using Thorium Version - 117.0.5938.157 (Official Build) (64-bit)

Under You and Google I thought I'd find an area to add a new profile so that I can use Thorium for a whole other instance of browsing. I don't seem to find this option. Am I just looking in the wrong place or does Thorium not allow that as an option? Thank you!

I can't tell if it's the same in your old version as it is in the current one, but in newer versions than yours you can click on the profile icon in the top bar to add or switch profiles.

I don't know how old my version is. I cannot find an update feature even under Settings/About. If I go to the main page and download another copy will it replace my existing version without messing up my 400 tabs?

The current version is 128, so you are quite out of date, even though version 128 is also out of date. There is no automatic update feature in Thorium and you will need to download the installer and install it over your existing version. I have absolutely no idea what will happen to your 400! tabs (if you really mean tabs and not favorites?) but I would strongly recommend backing up your current profile folder (or at least your saved passwords and favorites) before attempting to update Thorium.
