Before beginning the installation, you need to backup the data on your iDevice. You can skip this part if you aren’t keen on retaining your apps and data. Typically, you can backup your device’s data via iTunes on Pc or Mac or backup on iCloud.

Downloading and installing iOS 7

Once you have backed up your device, you can download the iOS 7 update through Wi-Fi on an over-the-air update and install the update through iTunes by connecting your device to your computer.

If installing directly on the device over Wi-Fi, you need to go to the settings app, select “General” and then “Software update”. The update message should appear soon after and then you need to select “Download and Install” to begin the process.
