When the image forming apparatus is indicated to update software mounted thereon, it stores the update firmware expanded in the firmware expansion area in a firmware copy area (S112), and performs the background processing to replace the software mounted thereon with link information for executing the update firmware stored in the firmware copy area (S114). |
