IF SOMETHING LOOKS DIFFERENT

Your menus may look different after an update. Look for the same control name and take your time.

Check that this guide covers your device and software. If the names do not match, use the manufacturer’s instructions linked below for your model.

Use Previous step or select a step number above. This changes the guide only; it does not undo anything on your device.
