Windows Phone 7 users would be informed on the new software update automatically and therefore they would be able to download and install it on their devices.

Users who wish to check if their device is eligible for update can do it manually:

3. Hit Settings > Phone update

While the handset is connected to a desktop PC:

1. Go through Start

2. Zune >Settings>Phone>Update

Microsoft announced:

• Before updating your phone, the Zune software and Windows Phone 7 Connector for Mac will attempt to back up your phone data to your computer, so you’ll need to know how much space your data is using on your phone.

To update your Windows Phone 7 device, users need to connect it to the desktop computer using an USB cable. Keep in mind that the handset has to remain connected throughout the update process.
