If you still don't have the update to Android 7 it may be your phone network or carrier has yet to issue the upgrade yet. Sometimes it can be delayed, or it may just be your phone manufacturer hasn't yet pushed the update to your device. So if you've either had a notification or manually checked and found that Android Nougat is available for your device - congratulations! Now you just need to download and install it. Simply follow the onscreen prompts to do this, but first check that you are connected to a Wi-Fi network as the update could wreck havoc with your data allowance , and that you have a decent amount of battery left.
In fact, it would be wise to plug your phone or tablet in while it's updating, as you don't want it to die part way through. You should also choose a time when you don't need urgent access to your device, as you may be unable to use it for a while.
