The wait is finally over for Windows 10 users, as the Creators Update, internally codenamed Redstone 2, can now be downloaded with the Windows Update Assistant tool.
According to Microsoft’s schedule, users who want to download and install the Creators Update manually can do it with the Update Assistant, and this involves following a simple wizard that scans the system for any potential issues that might be experienced during the update.
Although this sounds more complicated at first, the whole thing is quite straightforward and pretty much anyone should be able to successfully install the Creators Update without any advanced skills.
Microsoft, however, is playing the safe card here and says that only experienced users should go for the manual download method, so it’s up to each of you to decide whether it’s worth a try or not.
Windows Update release next week
Everyone else should start getting the new Creators Update on Windows Update on April 11, but what’s important to know is that this automated release takes place in stages, so although the official rollout begins next week, it could take up to several months to receive the new OS version.
As far as mobile phones are concerned, the Windows 10 Creators Update lands on April 25, but a staged rollout is being used in this case as well, so don’t be too surprised if you need to wait a bit longer to get it.
Other than that, the Creators Update is definitely worth installing, as it brings plenty of features for Windows 10, including Microsoft Edge improvements, a blue light filter, new settings, more Windows Update controls, and so much more.
