    Open DM and click on check for updates. It should pull up the 4.5.0.110 OS to upgrade to.

    Couple of ways to upgrade OS:

    First, go to Options>Advanced Options> and if there is an upgrade available, it will be in the list of options (typically on the bottom).

    When you connect her phone through DM, there is an upgrade option in DM.

    Finally, you can go to the Blackberry website, head over to the software section, device software, and there is an option there to upgrade your OS.

    Hope this helps!

    I am currently using the latest AT&T OS. It's okay, pretty stable. At times I seem to have some memory problems, but that just may be because I try to run too many apps at once

    It's ok. That big jump was how it went, straight from 4.2 to 4.5

    Just warn your friend that because of the jump, their apps/themes may not work on the new OS, especially older themes.

    Most likely. I recommend upgrading to DM 4.6
