A software update is usually provided free from a manufacturer to support the latest hardware such as printers, DVD drives, web cams, etc. An update is sometimes called a patch, because it is applied over the software that you already have installed.
A software upgrade usually involves the purchase of a newer or more fully-featured version of your current software. Manufacturers of software are continually coming out with the latest and greatest of software upgrades.
