• Hold down on the option key (Mac) or the shift key (Windows) and click the “Check for Update” button in the Summary pane. Browse to the .ipsw file you downloaded and select it. Note: Alternatively, you can also try clicking on the “Check for Update” directly without using holding down on the Option key or the Shift key. If the iOS 7 update is available it will automatically download and update your device to iOS 7.

• Do not disconnect your device until the update has finished.

• If necessary, restore your device from the previous backup and sync with iTunes.

That’s it. You should have an iOS device running iOS 7. Let us know how it goes.
