Hello,
You will need to contact your host and acquire ftp credentials as you will be uploading files.
How to manually upgrade WordPress:
Perform a complete backup of both your database and directory structure (in case something goes wrong)
Login to your WordPress administration panel and deactivate all active plugins
Download and extract the latest STABLE WordPresss version to a folder on your computer
Upload the extracted files to your WordPress server directory with the exception of the following:
wp-content folder and it’s content
wp-includes/languages if you are using a custom language file
To perform the upgrade, navigate to http://yoursitename/wp-admin/upgrade.php and follow the on screen steps
Login to the administration panel and reactivate your plugins one by one to ensure that they still work with the new version of WordPress
Enjoy the new WordPress release!
