Hi Carol,
OK, assuming there is an update available, i.e. the phone is confirming
there is an update available, simply dial *#0000# and then press options,
check for updates and follow instructions. Ensure the battery is charged
beforehand. You will not lose anything as the N86 has UDP, User Data
Protection on board.
If you have sight and/or if your screen reader supports it, I recommend
using the Nokia Software Updater, but as doing it via the phone is of course
completely accessible regardless you could try this first.
HTH.
