Upgrade System to Latest Flavour

After running away from Zorin due to issues created from turn of the century (2004) hardware not properly working I decided to give my MSI K8T Neo2 socket 939 a fling aside and upgraded to a MSI 970A SLI Krait with an FX6300 6x and recently installed Zorin 12.0
Is there a relatively Noobie friendly method to upgrade the working system to the latest? Otherwise the installation went smoothly and is very stable and fast and this is a continuing attempt to switch from Windoze

Hi

I would suggest to upgrade to version 12.3 as now 'rolling' (continuous) distributions
check out heading 'prepare your hard drive as below explained'

Zorin 12 will update through to 12.3 and beyond until the next major release that will support flatpaks and snaps.

I purchased this 12 from a friend that lost interest in Linux over a year ago and I do believe he mentioned it is Ult but I don't really know how to tell the difference. All I hve to do is figure out how to update it?
