 * In update-core.php page, my WordPress version shows –
 * You can install again – version blah blah
 * In the button: “Download -” instead of 4.0
 * What is the – version? And I can’t update anything (plugins, themes…) How can
   I fix that?

 * go to your dashboard and click on updates in the left hand menu. if you need 
   to update anything it will tell you there, don’t bother going through core files
   to find that kind of information.

 * check your wp version in wp-includes -> version.php
 * as for not being able to update anything i can only assume that the version you’re
   running is quite old and nothing’s compatible anymore…
 * if that’s the case you may need to download your database, scrub the whole site
   and rebuild with version 4.0 and upload content back into your new database.

 * $wp_version = ‘4.0’; in version.php
 * Is there anything I can do before clean WordPress install?

 * back up everything, database and root directory. you can easily do both via cpanel
   on your web host. also do an export of your site via the dashboard (tools -> 
   export) as you could try using this to import things into the new one rather 
   than having to go the database route (that requires changing settings in the 
   config file and in the database itself.
