OK, I've let things s-l-i-d-e and been running OK for well 3 years now. But while my faithful old Nexus 7 (8BG) works well for what I need it, its getting donkey SLOW. I timed the start up and its around 45 seconds before I get to begin using the tablet. I thought maybe its the OS and it needs to be updated? But HOW to do that? I looked in Settings and didn't find a thing related to updating. So I must be looking in the wrong place.
I've tried to search thru the posts here to find 1) HOW to update (where, steps etc.) without any joy. 2) it seems that there is a bunch of OS levels that I would have to step 'update' thru to get to whatever the most current level of OS my Nexus 7 2012 can handle. Is there a list of these somewhere that I can look at to see what I am facing?
And if I do update, would I be realistic to expect that my pokey little 2012 8GB will actually start up and run 'faster'?
Thanks for any and all insights/feedback.
