I don't have a pc right now but I'm gonna download everything just in case. Thank you. I don't know if it's only me but even with the virus I barely used my pc before it broke, I would like more ways to do this things.

I updated yesterday. So far, looking good.

Only big problem for me is that the note app is now very sensitive to hand and finger touch. Unusable without explicitly switching off hand recognition, which in turn makes it impossible to hide the top toolbar.

In the upgrade manual is states that you need to hold the "back" button when plugging in the USB cable (step 5) to initiate the upgrade. In my case I had to press both paging buttons instead.

On most Android devices the button to press is "Volume Down", this is mapped to the paging button 'left' on the Mimas.
