-Currently there are two software configurations that support OTA updates.
+Instructions below show configuration of OTA on NodeMCU 1.0 (ESP-12E Module) board. You can use any other board assuming that it meets [requirements](#basic-requirements) described above. This instruction is valid for all operating systems supported by Arduino IDE. Screen captures have been made on Windows 7 and you may see small differences (like name of serial port) if you are using Linux and MacOS.
 
-- [Classic OTA](#classic-ota-configuration): Arduino IDE 1.6.5 and 1.6.5-947-g39819f0 (of July 23, 2015) version of ESP8266 board support platform package that provides first OTA implementation, yet without support for [ArduinoOTA](https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino/tree/master/libraries/ArduinoOTA) library. This particular configuration soon will be depreciated in favor of new implementation described below.

-    - [Python](https://www.python.org/) 2.7 (do not install Python 3.5 that is not supported).
-

 The most common causes of OTA failure are as follows:
 * not enough physical memory on the chip (e.g. ESP01 with 512K flash memory is not enough for OTA),
-* too much memory declared for SPIFFS so new sketch will not fit between existing sketch and SPIFFS – see  [Update process - memory view]( https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino/blob/master/doc/ota_updates/ota_updates.md#update-process---memory-view),
