How to update OnePlus 5/5T to Android 10?
You can wait for a stable OTA update to arrive in your region and then update your device by going to Settings>System>System Updates.

If you’re running the Android Pie Open Beta (Open Beta 35 for OP5 and Open Beta 33 for OP5T), you need to choose the update method as the “Android Q open beta update” in the Oxygen Updater app.
Please note that your entire data will be wiped in this process. Hence, don’t forget to take a backup of it before updating your OnePlus 5 or OnePlus 5T to Android 10.
