How do I install a patch?

[breadcatcher101]

Hello all, new here. As my toplic suggest I am not much at home with a computer, all I have learned has been self-taught.

I have SH 4 and 3, enjoy both. Started out with SH 2, at last got a better computer to allow me to enjoy the latest.

My SH 4 (Wolves of the Pacific) is V 1.2 so I need to install patch 1.4. I downloaded it into my downloads folder but how do I incorporate it into the game?

Presently my clock doesn't work, keeps good time but no function other than that. Also I use no fuel, unlimited batteries, no duds, all on career. I think the patch will fix this maybe.

I have learned a lot from researching the past topics. Many questions have been asnwered and I have learned much from doing so, but what am I failing to do in installing a patch? I tried before I had saved games. I understand it won't install when you have those but it still didn't seem to "join up" with the game so to speak.

Thank you for your help.
