Boot into recovery mode, select “install zip from sdcard,” then “choose zip from sdcard,” navigate to the location where you copied the CM11 M11 and Gapps ZIP files, then flash them like you would any other ZIP. Apply factory reset, then reboot the device in normal mode. Note that the Cyanogenmod team warns you not to apply an M11 build on top of any nightly beyond September 30th.
