Welcome to the community!
Please type in show bootvar, it should show which image will be used for the next reboot. It is best practice to upgrade the one not being used for the next reboot.
You can use the copy command to transfer the firmware image to the switch via TFTP or USB. You may refer to page 211 of the user manual here.
Once you're done with the transfer, type in boot system to change the image to be used in the next reboot. Afterwards, reboot the switch by typing reload.

Jerald thank you for your help.
All the best.
