You did it correctly. That is the correct file location. When I replace my version of FFMPEG, I leave the original file and just rename it, and place the new version in it's place. I can't tell for certain, but it looks like either version (essentials or full build) should have the Nvidia drivers, but I can't say for certain. I'd say try the full build just to be sure. It's not even necessary to restart the Serviio service, unless FFMPEG is in use, in which case it won't let you replace the file anyway.
That said, I haven't had the need to swap out FFMPEG for several years. I used to do it so I had a 64 bit version, but Serviio includes that now. But I've never tried to activate the hardware acceleration. My primary Serviio PC has an Intel CPU, and I've never had a problem with Serviio's standard acceleration.
