  Upgrade instructions are found [here](https://docs.craftcms.com/v3/upgrade.html), although i wouldn't recommend it as an end user. You want to backup your database in case something goes wrong, change file paths/content, etc. Even if you have the access and knowledge to run the scripts, you should have a developer do this for you.
