How to Put an Update on a Nook Color
- 1). Download the update from Barnes and Noble's website at BarnesAndNoble.com -- point to "NOOK," click "Support" under "NOOK Color," then click "Software Update." The update download is in ZIP format, but do not unzip it or attempt to run any programs in it.
- 2). Make sure that your Nook has at least a fifth of its battery capacity remaining, and plug it into your computer with the accompanying USB cable. Wait for the device to appear as a removable drive on your desktop or in "My Computer."
- 3). Drag the ZIP file you downloaded into the main folder of the Nook drive.
- 4). Eject the Nook by right-clicking its icon and selecting "Eject," then disconnect it from the computer and turn it on. The device takes a few moments to find and recognize the file you placed on it, then automatically unpacks and installs the update.
