      Apple Computers: 

      FYI, they moved the "update software" in Ventura to:
      Settings > General > Software Updates
       
      Anytime you need to find something and don’t know where to look, use the search function either in the upper right corner on the task bar or in Settings on the top of the sidebar. This will take you right to the proper place or give you a selection to choose from.
       
      Windows Computers:

      Use the search function on the lower task bar and it will take you to the correct location or give you a list to choose from.
