My phone came from China with 4.something version of Android.
I have updated to 5.0 using Windows 7 computer and an official installer from manufacturer.
You download some big files to your Windows PC, connect the phone using USB cable and run the installer. It will take a *long* time to flash the phone. I was scared I bricked it because it looked like nothing is happening, but I left it connected and the firmware update finished somehow.
Updating to 6.0 is a little bit more involved, because the firmware is only officially available for Russian version of phone, not the Chinese ones that were sold from China for fire-sale prices. I have no desire to update to 6.0.
