Performance

Bug fixes for crashes, WI-FI and Bluetooth performance.
Application compatibility like ensuring that Microsoft Office Suite and Cisco VPN work and are supported.

Usability Improvements

This ensures you can use the latest and greatest features in the new macOS such as Apple Intelligence and better iPhone integration like mirroring.

The normal path to upgrade is via the System Settings/General/Software Update options. If you're not able to update this way then you can always use the Self Service App and look out for the upgrade policy options within Core Software.
