I still wouldn't update it if I was you as you might regret you did in future. Again, there is no gain in updating, the only thing that changes is losing ndless capability.
I understand but I'm giving this to a friend and, tbh, he would definitely update it if I didn't. So, by not updating, I'm only delaying the inevitable. Another question, how do you transfer notes from the student software to the calculator? I feel I'm missing something obvious. Thanks again for the help!

I have 3.9.1.38 but I'll be updating it to 4.0
DON'T DO IT!
If you update to 4.0 you won't be able to install Ndless and get all the fun programs, like linux, emulators, and python. 4.0 doesn't really have any new features, aside from blocking Ndless. With OS 3.9, you can either install Ndless (not recommended because you need a computer to reinstall whenever the calc reboots.) or downgrade to 3.6 (recommended). The extra features in 3.9 and 4.0 (which are few) aren't worth not having Ndless, or having to use a computer to reinstall it.
I know what you mean but I'm going to be giving this calculator to a friend (who's not great with tech so wouldn't be interested in programming). I bought it used, mainly to try it out since my old calculator had died. So far, it's been incredibly useful. But, the actual calculator is in pretty poor condition: the screen is scratched and it didn't come with the Student Software so I'm using the 30 day trial. I suppose for the price it wasn't too bad. Anyway, I'm going to buy a new CX CAS in the coming month (would be cheaper than getting this one repaired). What I'm trying to say is that I'm planning to update this one and use it for class for the next month. Then, in July, I'll get a new Nspire and downgrade that to 3.6 (as well as install Ndless). At the moment, I don't have the time to play around with the Ndless programs so I don't see any point in not updating it. Edit: Just remembered, the supplier I'm buying from has a huge stock of 3.9 Nspires (they don't sell that well where I live) so the risk of buying a 4.0 Nspire is pretty minimal @JamesNewman To answer your original question, download the TI Nspire Computer Link Software or TiLP and use one of those pieces of software to send the .tns files to your Nspire.
Thanks for the reply! Just before I download that, I wanted to check if there's any method of doing it through the Student Software. Or is it easier using the Computer Link Software?

This is a silly question but I can't figure out how to install apps on the Nspire CX CAS. I've got the .tns files. How do I transfer and install them on the calculator? Thanks in advance for the help!
What kind of app? C or Lua? What OS version do you have?
Some are BASIC while the others are LUA. I have 3.9.1.38 but I'll be updating it to 4.0

Right. And is there any good guides on how to use the Nspire? Maybe on Youtube?
Finally, when using the CAS feature, is there any way to show step-by-step solutions? Like WolframAlpha?
It depends on what operating system your calc is running. If you have 3.9 or lower, you're good to go, but OS 4.0 is un-ndlessable right now. As for the CAS stepping, I don't think so 
Right. Ok. Any good guides on how to use the calculator? I'm having a bit of trouble with graphing, especially. Tbh, this is my first graphical calculator so it's pretty different for me Also, I've got a few notes on my PC (Student Software). How do you transfer these to the calculator? Thanks again for the help!

I haven't been on Omnimaga since last year so I'm pretty out of the loop in terms of development. I just bought a new TI Nspire CX CAS. I was wondering what I should do with it? Downgrade? Install Ndless? In terms of aims, I'm mainly looking to make the Nspire as useful as possible (possibly instead some programs, games, etc.). Anyway, any advice would be incredibly useful!

Sorry to post a year later but, in the end, I didn't buy the calculator. I didn't have enough money to get it and, besides, the topics I was studying didn't require a graphing calculator. But, now, I've started a more complex course.
So, since the HP Prime has officially arrived and some changes have happened, is everyone's view on the Nspire vs Prime the same? Especially, since I'm in the UK, so teacher support is not a major factor here unlike in the US...

TI's CAS is called Derive. I believe there's a computer version. 
Thanks! I'll have a look at it.

Apparently the CAS is Xcas so you might wanna check it out (it's free). Or just try the emulator.
Thanks for the reply! I've tried the XCas out but I'm still getting used to it. I'm normally used to Microsoft Mathematics and WolframAlpha. The problem is I haven't tried the TI CAS- you don't get many TI calculators in the UK. So, I guess I'm asking, how does TI CAS compare to XCas? And to WolframAlpha/Microsoft Mathematics?

Looks like a great calculator. Hopefully, HP will release a SDK. But, does anyone know what the CAS is like in the Prime? And how does it compare to the Nspire CX? That's one of the main points for me...

Good to see you guys found it useful. I don't see why anyone would torrent it- it's $5 for the full games and going to charity. I would buy it myself but I don't have a credit card/Paypal...

I can't afford this at the moment due to some financial issues. But, it's a great deal and I thought someone might find it interesting. You get about 8 really good games and you can choose how much to pay. Besides, the money goes to charities so at least you're helping others out. It'll last for two more weeks: https://www.humblebundle.com/

Oh. Thank you for clearing that up. I still think getting the Nspire is the best option.
Also, thank you to everyone for putting up with me and answering my endless questions.

What do you mean by 'kinda like with the Nspire'? I thought the Nspire development community was popular and active. So, you think in a year or so, no-one will code for the Nspire CX CAS?
