Free software updates from Nokia and Microsoft keep your phone working
at its best. Your phone notifies you when an update is available. Pick
a convenient time to install the update on your phone. Depending on the
size of the update, the installation can take up to an hour. If you
miss the notification, or don't have time to install the update now,
don’t worry, your phone reminds you again in a few days.
How can I update my Lumia?
To update your phone, you need the Zune PC app (Windows) or Windows
Phone 7 Connector (Mac OS) on your computer.
Connect your phone to your computer with the USB cable that came with
your phone.
If Zune or Windows Phone 7 Connector doesn't start automatically when
you connect your phone, open it.
Follow the instructions shown on your computer.
When you use Zune or Windows Phone 7 Connector to install an update,
all your settings, apps and media files are preserved.

How do I prepare for an update?
1. Before starting the update, make sure your phone has enough
battery power. If the battery level is low, charge the battery before
starting the update.

remove a few unwanted applications or other large items. To see how
much free space you have on your phone, press Start, then swipe left to
the apps menu, then selectSettings > About, and check the amount of
available space.
3. Free up space on your computer, as you need enough space to
download the software update, and to save a backup of your existing
phone software, settings, and media files.
