My PC will not let me open this. It tries
through Adobe and then says it is not supported. Do I have to download that 7ZIp to do it? Not too much a computer savvy person. Talk to me like I am 4 years old PLEASE
Sounds like you have a bad association for zip files.
I forgot that you need the Updater 1.1 file out of the V36 update which is in RAR format.
What I have done is package both the updater and the V40 firmware in a self extracting file for you. It's an EXE file but it is safe as I just created it for you.

Download the file and run it, it will create a folder where you ran it from called "Minikin V2-V40 Upgrade".
Inside that folder you will find two files: HW718V40(20171008).firmware & UpgradeV1.1.exe, just follow the Asmodus directions from there.
- Open the UpgradeV1.1.exe to install the upgrading program.
- Once the program is installed a window will pop up called "ASMODUS Upgrade Tool V1.1"; this is the program which will perform the upgrade.
- Remove the batteries from your Minikin 2. With the batteries removed from the device, hold the fire button down and plug in the USB. The screen will state "Download Mode".
- Click connect on the ASMODUS Upgrade Tool.
- Click file and select the firmware update. This is the other file that was downloaded.
- Click upgrade on the ASMODUS Upgrade Tool.
- When the update is complete, a pop up will state "Upgrade Complete!" and the screen on the Minikin 2 will state "Update Ok".
Unplug the USB & reinstall you batteries, answer Yes to the Married/UnDamaged Pair question and you are good to go.
