② If you are unable to locate the LG Update Center or the LG DnA Center Plus program, you can access the LG Electronics website's download library and select [Laptop/Tab] from the [IT/Monitor] category and enter the model name.
After that, choose the corresponding Windows version from the [Operating System (OS)] category. Once you have done this, you can proceed to install either the LG Update Center or the LG DnA Center Plus program.
