Clarify that all OS need to start with the same procedure (which initially cost me an hour of my time :) )

Downloads for the hex files to flash are available on the [releases page.](https://github.com/Ralim/ts100/releases)
If you run into issues with flashing the firmware this is usually down to issues in the DFU bootloader that comes with the iron. **As this is closed source, there is nothing I can do to try and fix these issues.**
# Common
To start, hold the button closest to the tip, and plug in the USB to the computer. The screen should read `DFU` followed by a version number. If it does not, you're not in the bootloader - unplug and start over.
# Windows
Upgrading on Windows works following the published Miniware guide.
Please note that you need to use the windows explorer for file copying. Using Teracopy, or other explorer replacements will make it fail.
1. Hold the button closest to the tip, and plug in the USB to the computer.
2. The unit will appear as a USB drive.
3. Drag the .hex file onto the USB drive.
4. The unit will disconnect and reconnect.
5. The filename will have changed to end in .RDY or .ERR or .NOT
6. If it ends with .RDY you're done! Otherwise, something went wrong
7. Disconnect the USB and power up the iron. You're good to go.

# Mac
sgr1ff1n (Shane) commented in [issue 11](https://github.com/Ralim/ts100/issues/11) that upgrading worked on their Mac as per normal:
> I just wanted to say that I was able to update the firmware on my ts100 from the stock version to 1.08 found in this repository using my Mac. I simply followed the same steps however through Finder. I have a MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2012) running Sierra 10.12.4 (16E195).
# Linux
While in past there were reports of unreliable upgrades, the consensus in [issue 11](https://github.com/Ralim/ts100/issues/11) is that things work mostly as expected in Linux.
