I've never done this before.. or really used a tablet much before.

I have a Lenovo TAB 2 A8-50F that currently has Android 5.1 on it. It's EOL and no more updates are available for it from Lenovo. A program/utility I have requires 6.0.

So, I assume I need to root it, then update it to Marshmallow. I have no idea where to look or start, so if anyone can point me in the right direction (in which I mean, tell me what to do) I will be grateful!

Thank you!
