Everything about Software update

Process of changing installed software to newer versions

Software update is the process of changing installed software with the intent to make it more modern. It also refers to the stored data used to update software. When storage was significantly more expensive, patching files was the dominant form of update. With the advent of larger distribution storage media and higher Internet bandwidth, it became common to replace entire files instead of patching. Wikipedia →
