This is a broad question with different products.

Any upgrade of the device follows the below rules :

1. what is the current version, and what is the target version?

2. is any of the product EOL product which you looking to upgrade, so how long was the uptime of the devices, so make sure you reboot the device if the device Longer than year + uptime before upgrade take place.

3. Check if the target version can be directly upgraded or required path upgrade, showing you read the release notes.

4. Download the Software from cisco side, upload to device and check MD5 checksum before upgrade.
