Then that rental company is responsible for any software updates. Trade it in with them to get the upgraded version. That is not your responsibility. Unless of course that is in your rental contract with them...

Just stop posting. Does your request have to do with your other spammy post?
 
I never did spam al I asked was re windows and my wheel chair issues
 
Okay, even though you are from an English speaking country, there does appear to be a language barrier. Let me try taking this to Personal Messaging (PMs).
