You want to upgrade, not update. Software Update only checks for changes to the version you are using, not upgrades. How far you can upgrades depends upon computer specification your have not yet provided. To get more information about your computer, go to the Apple in the upper left corner of any window, then "About This Mac", then "More Info..." Copy and paste the information here, but omit the serial number and Hardware UUID (if present).
