A Simple Step by Step Guide to Updating the NanoVNA Firmware

I've put together a "for idiots" document (I'm both the writer and the target audience) that holds your hand through the process of upgrading from Windows, and covers some important issues like:
- Are you using a nanoVNA or an updated nanoVNA-H?
- Where to pick up the right software for the board
- Do you want the VNA or the antenna analyzer version?
- The software you need to load it, drivers, etc.
There is no “Config” menu item. What do I do?
Then you likely have a very old software version of nano vna 1.
