It says;

Drupal core update status .............................Not secure! (version 6.5 available)

I clicked on Not Secure link and it took me to Available updates. Do I click on 6.5 or the download link or it doesnt matter? Also, what happens next? Will I have to extract the file or something and upload it where or whatever?

You need to download Drupal 6.5, unpack it and upload it to replace all your existing Drupal files, and then run update.php.

after uploading the new 6.6 core files on my 6.5 installation, update.php redirects me to the normal installation process (install.php).
I'm user1, and tried the $update_free_access = TRUE; in settings.php just in case.

what's wrong ?

The upload probably overwrote your sites/default/settings.php file which contained your database connection settings. So Drupal thinks that it is not installed.

Edit the settings.php file with a text editor, find the $db_url = line, enter your database connection information, and save it.

Then run update.php.

Don't forget to set $update_free_access = FALSE; afterwards, or else anyone from the web will be able to enter update.php and make a mess.
