This question appears to be off-topic because it is about upgrading Android and should be asked on [Android.stackexchange](http://android.stackexchange.com) – Simon Forsberg Nov 08 '13 at 00:08

The Nexus 7 is a stock Android device, or a Google Play device. This means that it will be getting the Android KitKat (4.4) update in the coming days. You are much better off waiting for the update from Google than installing a ROM on your phone, as it may contain hidden viruses. As @damryfbfnetsi said, this question should belong on android.stackexchange.com.

First you have to unlock your device. Its easy with this utility: http://www.wugfresh.com/nrt/
After that you have to download custom ROM. It depends if you have
- classic (non 3g) Nexus 7: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-7/orig-development
- 3g version Nexus 7: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-7/3g-development
Look for ROM with 4.4 Kitkat in thread name. I also advise to read comments in forum thread before you download it.
Again to flash custom ROM use wugfresh utility.
