1. what is the difference between and update and an upgrade?

an update fixes problems with the old software; an upgrade installs a completely new version of software.
an update installs a whole new program; an upgrade keeps the old program up to date.

Explanation:

1. System settings are related to the operating system. They allow users to modify certain aspects of how the operating system functions. Changing the CPU speed is typically hardware - related (though some OS - level power - saving settings might affect CPU performance in a limited way, but not in the sense of directly changing its speed). ROM (Read - Only Memory) is hardware that cannot be changed by system settings. Changing the speed of printing is more related to printer drivers and hardware settings rather than general system settings. System settings can change some functions of the operating system (e.g., display settings, language settings which are part of the OS functionality).
2. An update is usually a set of patches or fixes for an existing software. It aims to correct bugs, improve security, or enhance minor features of the current version. An upgrade, on the other hand, replaces the existing software with a new, more advanced version that may have significant new features, a different architecture, etc.

Answer:

1. change some functions of the operating system
2. An update fixes problems with the old software; an upgrade installs a completely new version of software
