SD may run satisfactorily without modification — many Android apps do — but you will most likely have to root the device and install pure Android.

That way you'll automatically get updates as and when they're released. I did it on my wife's one, and it wasn't too difficult. There's some instructions here: https://www.laptopmag.com/articles/get-google-play-on-fire-tablet Andy
