As a side-note to what's already been suggested.
It's useful to note that segwit isn't yet in use (as far as I know)  as there is not the majority node adoption that is needed for this change of the network.

Yes, just running bitcoin core 0.13.1 or later is enough unless you're mining.

You don't need to do anything as far as I know, upgrading to 0.13.1 or any other SegWit compatible version (this include 0.13.2 and 0.14.0) should be enough. At least, this is what I understood from this article: https://bitcoincore.org/en/2016/10/27/segwit-upgrade-guide/

Hello,
I recently downloaded Bitcoin Core 0.14 and I want to run a pro-SegWit node. How can I do that? I know that with Bitcoin Core 13 you have to download version 13.1, but there's no version 14.1, so how does one vote for SegWit on a full node? I understand that miners vote, not nodes, however, I think it's important to at least help SegWit by running the pro-SegWit node.

PS: Please don't talk here about BU vs SegWit, my question is just about running SegWit node. Period.
