Downloadable from Sony websites to your computer, then the Bodydata.dat file is transferred to a freshly formatted SD card. The card is inserted to Slot 1, and you select Setup - Setup Option - Version from the Menus and follow the instructions. Camera needs to have a fully or near fully charged battery, and the process takes about 4 minutes.
Link to the Sony Australia site, but I'm sure all worldwide sites are much the same:
www.sony.com/electronics/support/e-mount-body-ilce-7-series/ilce-7m4/software version 4.0.

Quite a long list of improvements (copied and pasted from the site):
