DO NOT update anything unless you are trying to solve a problem.
To find the version number:
From the regular loco screen on the cab: Press prog / esc 5 times to get to "Set Cmd Station"
Press enter
The first thing you see is the command station version that is what we need to know. Hopefully you see 1.65. That is the most recent version.
===========================================================
** IMPORTANT NOTE***
Unless you are using more than two additional NCE devices (not counting the Power Cab), the B patch version is 100% not important.
