This has the step by step instruction for using the graphical Software Update. Very easy to use.

If you don't see the upgrade listed there, go into Settings at the bottom left. – Debbie Poole Dec 10 '12 at 12:07

use this command:
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
your home directory will remain the same with current (before update), also your program/software installed. So, you do not worry about loss your data.

This will only do an update, read the manpage: "dist-upgrade in addition to performing the function of upgrade, also intelligently handles changing dependencies with new versions of packages[...]" – Gerhard Burger Dec 10 '12 at 11:17
