To be clear, software update generally means to install updates to the macOS currently running on the Mac; Catalina 10.15.1 to Catalina 10.15.2, for example.


A software upgrade is a generational leap forward to a newer macOS; from 10.11 El Capitan to 10.13 High Sierra for example, or 10.14 Mojave to 10.15 Catalina.
