extract tgz before install

I just had a couple of older kobo touch's I forgot about which I found when I bought them from factory direct (originally was going to use them for Christmas gifts years ago but totally forgot about them.

Anyways the current firmware on them is 1.9.11 and I was reviving them as the batteries had been completely drained. Took a while, to get both to recharge one recharged easier than the other and is keeping the charge but the other one took a bit of coaxing plugging into a wall charger a few times for hours at a time and then it still wouldn't start - I had to plug the wall plug in out quickly a few times in a row which I think jump started it enough to charge enough turn on and start charging.

Regarding firmware 3.11 zip file - there is no upgrade folder - so I'm guessing I don't need to worry about that just copy over the tgz and md5 files.

One other thing, is the tgz file supposed to be unpacked or copied over into the .kobo directory as the full tgz file?

Also, if I chose to back to the original setup 1.9.11, do I just go into the .kobo directory and delete the tgz file and md5 files - or is there more to it than just that?

I'm on a windows system.

Also I noticed in the firmware suggestions someone said to bring back Sudoku - Was it removed in one of the firmware updates?
