Meanwhile, I got the new version of the Play Store.apk onto my mac, got the Android File Transfer program for my mac*, and put the new version PlayStore.apk** onto the MOTO-E in the Downloads folder. To access it and run it, I think I am supposed to have "ES File Explorer" to find the file, and run it. Soooo I managed to make the current PlayStore find that*** and it is currently downloading. It is big.....
(a) Am I allowed to leave this downloading screen while it downloads? Or will that stop the download? Right now, I'm not even letting the screen go to sleep, lest the download stop!
(b) Does the above procedure sound right? Use ES File Explorer to find the new PlayStore.apk file in the Downloads file, so that I can run it, so it will install itself?

*I had done some of this research last May when I got a Kindle Fire7, then returned it after 2 days cuz I hated it. Too different, and slower than my iPad. Oh, and heavier too. Since I actually wanted a smaller iPad for some upcoming travel, I just got a smaller iPad. But I digress... This time, for $10, I'll bother to learn Android!
**not the actual file name
***typing es made the PlayStore crash again. Typing file found me "file managers" and scrolling down finally showed me the ES File Explorer File Manager that I wanted. Perhaps typing ES would have worked. Is it case sensitive?
