I could be wrong, but I am pretty sure that that statement is telling you that you need to reboot the server/VM.
If you try to install a different SQL thing, you will fail the "reboot required" check (unless you bypass that).
From everything I've seen and tested, it seems like it is a good idea to reboot the box after doing most windows updates and all sql updates. Seen a lot of strange things magically disappear with a reboot.
The above is all just my opinion on what you should do.
As with all advice you find on a random internet forum - you shouldn't blindly follow it. Always test on a test server to see if there is negative side effects before making changes to live!
I recommend you NEVER run "random code" you found online on any system you care about UNLESS you understand and can verify the code OR you don't care if the code trashes your system.
