It is "to use the Android Beta Program". However, although updating can be done easily just like ordinary things, once you make it to Android 7.0 Nougat, you need to be careful as it will be restored to factory default to lower version.

If you want to update, access the following URL on the terminal. This time I tried it with Nexus 6, one of the targeted terminals.

Check it and tap "Join Beta Version". If you are installing a beta version, we recommend that you back up all data beforehand.


Tap "OK"


Then, there is a notification immediately in the notice column that "System update is available".


If you download and install this 858.4 MB file, Nexus 6 OS will be updated to Android 7.0 Nougat.

Tap 'Unregister beta version' in the dialog that came out. As written here, if you have already installed the beta version, all data will be erased to revert to the official version, so please make a backup before you cancel.
