Yes, there is. But they have to have the right file on there to start with.
Yesterday, when I checked, the version that I already had that his version 5.4,
was up there. If they put version 5.6, then you can follow the procedure
outlined on the page that William had previously sent a link to, or if you
don’t have that, you can Google for it and it will come up.

Is there a way of downloading the update to your computer, copying the file

Hi William, I’m pretty sure that page is out of date. Because I checked for
the fire tablets seventh generation not just the HD eight, and the fires also
said the same number. So did the HD 10. Therefore, I conclude this is out of
date. On page, if they ever do updated, there will be a downloadable software
that you could put on your PC and then transfer to your fire. Of course since
you got the update, that won’t be a problem for you. Smile.

Hi Mary. With the Amazon
link I provided in my last message, I too went to your device and it
read the following:
If you have the latest software update, it should look like this: Your
device is running Fire OS 5.4.0.1.
Yes, however, that might be information not yet updated.
But, why don't you shoot a message to Peter and ask if you can expect
an update in the future? Wouldn't hurt.
Stay well ... William

Hi William and also HD eight owners. I just did a Google search for fire OS
5.6 and hd8. I was taking to a page that showed the various devices and what
is the current OS. According to the page that I found, 5.4.01 is the latest
for the HD eight seventh generation. That seems very strange, but what do I
know. It could be this is an old page. So I’m curious does anybody out here
have an HD eight who has received something later then build the 5.4?
