Get Android Nougat on Your Nexus Right Now [How-To]

How to Get Android 7.0 Today [Non-Root Guide]

Full Tutorial: to Gadget Hacks: this video, I'll be showing you how to update your Nexus device from Marshmallow to Android 7.0 Nougat using the OTA sideload method.

As it stands, you'll likely have to wait up to 3 weeks for the Android Nougat to hit your Nexus device, because Google is releasing the update on a staged rollout. But the OTA ZIPs (the same exact update you're waiting on) have already been captured for most Nexus devices, so you can actually install Nougat right now.

You'll only need a Windows PC and a USB data cable to use this method, and you can have it done in less than 30 minutes. The actual work is pretty easy, too, so there's no reason to wait.

This won't work for rooted devices, because it's the same as getting an OTA update, only faster, so you'll have to use Nexus Root Toolkit like always. But if you're not rooted, this OTA sideload method is definitely the way to do it.
