IF SOMETHING LOOKS DIFFERENT

Your menus may look different after an update. Look for the same control name and take your time.
I cannot find that option+
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.
