You need to connect your iPhone to the computer you authorised, when first setting up your iPhone. When you connect your iPhone, either iTunes should open automatically or you will need to open it manually. You will see half way down the page, your device is shown highlight it by clicking on it, then the sync screen will display. On that first page, there is an option to check for updates. Click on this and your computer will connect to iTunes to see if updates are available, if so you will be asked to update your device. Some anti virus software needs disabled during this process as it can block the update and you are sometimes not aware of this until the update has tried to download which can take some time if it's an operating system update.
