One kind can install the TV apps in our guides, and the other cannot. This quick check tells you which you have.
1
Press the Home button
On your Fire TV remote, find the button with a small picture of a house. Press it once. The main Fire TV screen appears. If you ever feel lost, this button always brings you back here.
2
Open Settings
Press the right side of the round ring on your remote until you reach the small gear picture on the top row. Then press the middle of the ring. This middle button is called Select, and it works like “OK”.
3
Open My Fire TV
Press the arrows on the ring to find My Fire TV, then press Select. On some newer software, this is called Device & Software. Both names lead to the same place.
4
Open About
Press the down arrow until About is highlighted. Highlighted means it looks brighter than the others. Then press Select.
5
Read the model and software
The name of your device appears at the top. Look further down for the words Fire OS. If you see Fire OS, you are in luck, and our Downloader guides will work for you.
6
If you have a newer stick
The Fire TV Stick 4K Select from 2025 and the Fire TV Stick HD from 2026 are reported to use Vega OS. Those sticks cannot install apps from outside Amazon’s own store, so Downloader will not work on them.
7
What to do with a Vega stick
You still have good options. Look in Amazon’s store for a TV player, or use an app on your Smart TV. Please do not pay for anyone’s tool that claims to “unlock” your stick. It may be unsafe.
8
If you are about to buy one
Ask for a stick running Fire OS, such as the Fire TV Stick 4K Plus or 4K Max, and check the product page. If a store cannot confirm this, ask us before you pay. This check can save you a trip back.
