HOLD the SHIFT key and press upgrade (for windows users)

HOLD the OPTION key and press upgrade/restore (for MAC users)

You realize that this article is about stealing from Apple. To me there is not much difference between it and an article on the best ways to shoplift in an Apple Store without getting caught. People who will spend hundreds of dollars on an electronic device and then begrudge spending a mere $10 for a major functionality update frankly amaze me!
