Another probably noob question: it says the update cannot be removed. I allowed Samsung to update my note 2 and then couldn't ever get it to go back. I don't want Lenovo/Amazon to pull the same fast one on me.
You can't remove OS updates on any phone, short of restoring a TWRP backup or doing a complete re-flash of an earlier version.

Sorry, I'm not using the right terminology. The Samsung update prevented me from ever rooting and re-flashing original version. When I saw Moto's update warning that it "can't be removed" I thought- here we go again- I won't fall for it this time... Sounds like I'm just being paranoid.

Ah, yeah, that's a Samsung thing.
