In the left pane of the Windows Explorer window, select My Computer and then your hard drive designation. (The hard drive designation is typically Local Disk C.) Then follow the path you recorded earlier to the folder on your hard drive that contains the update. 3. To begin the installation, open the folder, and then double-click the file with an.exe extension-for example, Filename.exe. (The ROM update installation begins.) 4.
