1. How much RAM available you have now? Need to go to developer mode to check
2. Have you restart your smartphone?
3. Good Wifi connection to download the updates
4. Use the default launcher.
5. Check background apps that might interfere with this. easy to say, close all
6. Battery status above 50%
7. Simcard remove clean using erasure and insert back
8 Update Play store
9. Update all apps in Play store in "manage apps and devices"
10 Use Sony Suite to do it. ( I never done this before, only heard about it)
11 Say a little prayer before doing it
