Updating to 7.0 failed due to verification- can someone help an ***** please!

[AC Question]

So I keep getting notifications on my Nexus 6 saying there's an update for 7.0 and that I should get it. So I download it and then it stops at the end of the process saying 'verification failed.'

I've googled this, but I honestly don't understand most of what's been suggested and I'm wary of going ahead and rebooting my device if I'm not sure what I'm really doing.

Can anyone help explain how to fix this for someone who isn't androidy-minded?

Welcome to Android Central! First, try wiping the cache partition, which won't erase any personal data: https://motorola-global-portal.cust...prod_answer_detail/a_id/102414/p/30,6720,9293. Then try updating again.

If the same thing happens, then you could consider manually installing it, using these instructions: How to manually update your Nexus or Pixel | Android Central
