Updating and improving software is usually a breeze, with most computer systems and software systems working hand in hand to prompt you to download the upgrades and a one click installation that, with common broadband speed, will complete in a fairly short time.
Some software programs upgrade in the background without your even being aware of it or even noticing any system slow down.
Even if they say it is okay to have other programs open I strongly suggest having no other programs open while you use your computer to download or to work at your home business. Nice and easy to get a good download without serious possible mishaps.
You will have enough unnecessary glitches along the work path as it is.
