It may look slightly different than the picture below, but it will perform the same items needed. ![Start Button.jpg](https://blog.framesdata.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Blog%20Images/Start%20Button.jpg?width=613&height=217&name=Start%20Button.jpg) Once you click the Start button, you need to click on “computer.” If you are unable to find computer, please click “documents” or “downloads".  ![Start Menu.jpg](https://blog.framesdata.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Blog%20Images/Start%20Menu.jpg?width=426&height=580&name=Start%20Menu.jpg) After you click on one of the options, a window should appear that looks similar to the picture below. You will just need to click on your Downloads folder to find the most recent SPEX download files.  ![Downloads File.jpg](https://blog.framesdata.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Blog%20Images/Downloads%20File.jpg?width=640&name=Downloads%20File.jpg) Once in your Downloads folder, you'll want to find the file that looks like the one below. The file name translates to UPC-MONTH-DAY-YEAR. So, UPC100116 is the UPC file from October 1st, 2016. Click the zip file to highlight it, then right click it and select "Extract" or "Extract All".  ![UPC Zip File in Downloads.jpg](https://blog.framesdata.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Blog%20Images/UPC%20Zip%20File%20in%20Downloads.jpg?width=640&name=UPC%20Zip%20File%20in%20Downloads.jpg) Before moving SPEX files to the C: drive, please make sure to remove old files that may be there from a previous month. This is to ensure that the files being used are the most up to date. Once the file extracts, it should become a regular folder type. Once you click into the folder, you should see the following files: ![SPEX Files to C Drive.jpg](https://blog.framesdata.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Blog%20Images/SPEX%20Files%20to%20C%20Drive.jpg?width=640&name=SPEX%20Files%20to%20C%20Drive.jpg) To move them to the C: Drive, hold down the Ctrl key and click the "SpexUPC", "CONFIG.UPC", "DISK\_DIR.UPC", "MISCDATA.UPC" files. Once highlighted, you can click and drag them to the Local Disk (C:) drive. The files are now ready to use in whichever practice management software you use! ## Leave a comment ![Zachery Bowman](https://app.hubspot.com/settings/avatar/960b369217f9768e0d330b375d1b285b) Written by [Zachery Bowman](https://blog.framesdata.com/author/zachery-bowman) A recent addition to the Frames Data team, Zac is a graduate of Saint Joseph's University in Philadelphia where he earned degrees in English and Communications.
