How to get and install updates

From time to time, software updates may be available. Your phone can check and
notify you if there's a new update.
Although your phone notifies you "over the air" (through your phone's Internet
connection) when an update is available to download, the actual software update is
not carried out over the air. You need to connect your phone to your computer to
download and install an update.
Setting the type of connection to use for checking updates
Check if your phone has been set to notify you about new updates. Also choose the
type of connection you want to use for checking updates.
1. On the Start screen, tap
2. Tap Settings > phone update.
3. Make sure the Notify me when new updates are found check box is selected.
4. Choose whether to allow the use of your phone's data connection to check for
updates. If you disable the use of the data connection, your phone will only
check for updates over Wi-Fi or when it's connected to your computer.

Preparing for a software update

To make sure a software update can be carried out smoothly and without
interruptions, prepare your phone and computer first for the update. Here are some
tips on what you need to check and prepare.
If your battery level is low, give your phone a quick charge before starting the
update.
Check how much free space you have on your phone and make some room for
the update. To find out how to check the available storage, see
info and storage
If necessary, remove a few unwanted apps. Refer to
92 to see how it's done.
Or delete large files (such as photos, videos, or music) from your phone.
Make sure you have Zune installed on your computer. You'll need it to download
the software update. For details, see
