Some
smartphones receive their software updates over the airwaves. Windows
Phone is designed to receive its software updates via the companion
Zune software on your PC. You’ll see a notification on your phone when
an update is available. Just plug your phone into your PC, and Zune
will do the rest.
1. Download an Update
Connect
your phone to your PC via the USB cable, and then open the Zune
software. (If this is the first time you are connecting your phone to
your PC, you are prompted to install the software.)
In the Zune software, click Settings.
When the update is finished, click OK.
Tip:
Zune PC software isn’t just for updates.
Tip:
Although you use your
PC to install updates, your phone can also let you know when they’re
available. Tap Settings > Phone Update to see or modify your
notification settings.
