Obtain the c2-patch-794.zip file from an appropriate source.

Open the zip file and verify it contains a folder called Firmware.

Select both folders and drag them into the Explorer window that you opened above. Be careful to drop them into the area occupied by the files rather than the directories. The text you should see will say Copy to Crimson 2.0. If it references any other directory, you are dropping in the wrong place!
