then in the search box type: Windows Update
Windows Update should show in the results box click on it.

The .Net upgrade will either be listed under 'Important' or 'Optional'
upgrades, click on those until you see it, then click in the check box
to enable the .net 4.xx upgrade and then OK. Then Install Updates

It'll take a few minutes to do the update and it will probably have to restart Windows
in the process.
