The difference between a software upgrade and a software update can be a little confusing but it is important to know when trying to maintain your PC. A software update provides bug fixes and minor software enhancements. They are available as a free download. Updates sometimes include new drivers to support the latest hardware like a printer or CD drive. Software updates are sometimes called software patches because it is applied to software you already have installed. Now, a software upgrade is a newer version of the software you are currently using that you have to purchase. For example, if you use Quicken 2005 and purchase and install Quicken 2009 you are upgrading your software.
