Q: how do I upgrade my itunes on my pc

I had itunes but apparently need to upgrade because as of this week I can no longer see anything. How do I upgrade itunes? Is it the same as just downloading it again? I don't want to loose the music I already have.

 

Thanks

    You should be prompted whenever there is a newer version of iTunes available to you. Perhaps it has been turned off.

     

    If the top menu bar is not displayed in your iTunes, use CTRL+B to turn it on. That will display this:

    Click on Help/Check for Updates. If you see a message similar to this one...

    ...then you already have the latest version. Otherwise, a prompt will appear to help you download the new version.

     

    For the future, to ensure that you are prompted when a newer version is available, click on Edit/Preferences/Advanced>Check for new software updates automatically:
