You did not state your model or make so I can't explain how to change your model but most vacuums you must remove the bottom plate held on by screws that covers the brush roll, remove the brush roll and belt and reverse the process with the new belt. Some models have the brush roll held in by screws and/or brackets, some brush rolls slide down into slots. Replace the brush roll if the bristles are worn or frayed. If you are not replacing the brush roll remove the endcaps if possible and clear any hair or debris that has worked it's way in there.
Cogged belts are different from stretch belts and do not need to be replaced at least once per year like stretch belts do. You should still remove the brush roll at least once or twice per year to clean out debris. Maybe more often if it gets hair or strings wrapped around it which can build up causing friction and heat which can melt or damage the brush roll or even the nozzle housing.

To change the belt on a Hoover Flair Stick Vacuum, remove all 6 screws from the bottom of the beater bar. There are 2 screws hidden under wheels. You must pop the wheels off with a screw driver to remove the hidden screws. The cogged belt is on the left side of the beater bar. Be careful not to pull the wires.
Remove the plate on the bottom front of the vacuum by turning the plastic knobs on the plate with a nickel or screwdriver. Then pull out the brush bar and slide the belt over the brush bar and align it with the "cogged" portion of the brush bar.
Slide the belt and brush bar up into the vacuum and over the small cog on the motor. You'll need to pull back the idler pulley which is the smooth metal cylinder next to the cog on the motor. Once everything is lined up push the brush bar into its slots and reinstall the bottom plastic plate onto the vacuum. Everything should be in good working order now!
