How to intall iOS 6 on an iPod Touch (4th Gen) via iTunes?

Hello,

I have an iPod Touch (4th Gen) with iOS 4.2.1 on it. I would like to update my iPod Touch (4th Gen) to the latest iOS, which is iOS 6.1. I've installed iTunes 11.01 on my Windows 7 Ultimate SP1, how can I download and install Apple's iOS 6.1 on my iPod Touch (4th Gen)? I've been trying for over a week with no success. I would appreciate any and all help. Merry Christmas to everyone! 🙂 😎

Thank You.

David

On my iPod Touch (4th Gen), iOS 4.2.1, I am unable to go to Settings > General > Software Update, because it's not available on iOS 4.2.1. All it has is Settings > General > About, nothing about Software Updates. Can you PLEASE help me to Update my iPod Touch (4th Gen)? I would appreciate it very much.

Thank You.
