Can I have the new up grade direct to phone or do I have to have a computer to do this
DDo o need a computer to install update on my old phone iOS 8
No, you can download it over the air using Settings - General - Software Update.
HOWEVER, it's recommended to back up to a computer (as well as to iCloud) before you do such a major upgrade. Some people have had problems after they upgrade, and you may want to recover from a local backup.
