How to Upgrade Moto E to Kitkat 4.4.4

Kitkat 4.4.4 upgrade for Moto E has been rolled out while for those using Moto G and Moto X, you may have to wait a couple of days before it is rolled out for your models as well.

If you have received any message on the notification bar regarding the new version upgrade, click on 'Yes, I am in' to proceed further.

Google Chrome Offline Installer

Google Chrome download can become a mess for people with very slow internet connections. This is because the chrome setup that you install from the official website is actually the online installer. The size of the file is very small too (~555 KB).
