I have been tasked to update NopCommerce from 3.9 to 4.1 without hiring a professional. Does anyone have any advice on what programs to use to update NopCommerce & test the site before launch? I currently have Visual Studio on my mac but have had a hard time working on NopCommerce with it.
Thanks in advance!

Did you or others make any custom code changes? If not, then you do not need Visual Studio to upgrade. You do need a SQL tool like SSMS if you plan to upgrade the existing database.
Backup your database from prod, and then restore it local.
Run the upgrade SQL scripts in the local database.
Install 4.10 on your local.
See the docs
http://docs.nopcommerce.com/display/en/Upgrading+nopCommerce
(although, it's now installedPlugins.json)
You need .NET Core installed on your local. But, you don't necessarily need IIS; you can just 'dotnet Nop.Web.dll' in the local folder.
