samsung galaxy note android upgrade

[Shawn Patton1]

I have gt-n8013 running android version 4.1.2 . I hit the update button and it says I have the latest version. I know there are newer versions but I can not find how to upgrade to them or if they're compatible with my note. Can any one advise me? Thanks...

Looks like 4.1.2 is the latest version released by Samsung. If you want to update to a newer version you will need to explore installing a custom ROM (and understanding the risks in doing so).

Ok my reasons for wanting the upgrade was due to an article I read that said android will stop support on security for later versions. So im stumped....I dont want to shell out for new hard ware to get latest version. Thanks for the help.
