<p>Connect the phone to the computer. On Linux, you'll need to do this again if
you didn't have the udev rules set up when you connected it.</p>
<p>On Windows, you may need to install a driver for fastboot now: In Windows Update,
click Check for updates. After that there might be a link "View optional updates."
Download and install any driver updates. If there are no optional updates, simply
continue with the installation instructions.</p>
<p>On Windows, you need to install a driver for fastboot if you don't already have
it. No driver is needed on other operating systems. You can obtain the driver from
Windows Update which will detect it as an optional update when the device is
booted into the bootloader interface and connected to the computer. Open Windows
Update, run a check for updates and then open the "View optional updates"
interface. Install the driver for the Android bootloader interface as an optional
update.</p>
<p>An alternative approach to obtaining the Windows fastboot driver is to obtain
the <a href="https://developer.android.com/studio/run/win-usb">latest driver for
Pixels</a> from Google and then
<a href="https://developer.android.com/studio/run/oem-usb#InstallingDriver">manually
install it with the Windows Device Manager</a>.</p>
