Getting Xperia Z2 Tablet Updated To "Marshmallow" (Android 6.0)

I bought an Experia Z2 Tablet a couple years ago because I planned on needing a tablet but my situation didn't warrant it after I bought it so it got forgotten in it's shipping box. Recently though I decided to finally unpack it and get it running. No surprise though, it was loaded with Android 4.XX. An ok version but with today's newer apps and software in shows it's age. So I was hoping it would shortly do an OTA update and get it eventually to Android 6.0 which Sony indicates was rolled out for the Z2 Tablet about a year ago. So far, no update - only a frustrating slow and stalling out of date OS. I understand a manual update can be done (not the forced on you can request on the device) by downloading several Windows or Apple (no Linux support) apps to assist in downloading and flash installing 6.0 myself. Just wondering what would be best to do with this "New" dysfunctional tablet? Wait for an OTA update, update it manually, or forget the whole thing and sell it on eBay - never to buy another Sony tablet that won't update a year after release of an upgrade release?

I am also facing the same problem..... I still not getting any OTA update for Android 6 Marshmallow.

I tried to check update using Sony companion with help of my PC, but no use.

My model is Sony Z2 Tablet (SGP511). 

Thanks in advance.
