Hello,
I have a question, If I want to update my WP theme (Premium or Regular ) may I know what files will be changed or affected, such as style.css ?

The best way to avoid changes you made to a theme being overwritten during an update is to use a child theme. It's very easy to setup and will save you a lot of headaches.
