Preparation

. In its early days circa 2016, it was tied to much older software, typically shipping with Android 4.4 KitKat because the hardware—a quad-core Cortex A7 with a Mali-400MP GPU—was never officially intended to support later versions like Android 5.0 or beyond. The Quest for Modernity

You may find yourself needing a USB mouse to navigate certain settings menus.
