Download and Install Windows 10 Creator Update

How to download and install the Win 10 Creators Update:

It looks like the Windows 10 Creators Update will be releasing on April 11, but if you can’t wait that long there are ways of getting the latest major update for Windows 10 right now. 

How to download and install the Windows 10 Creators Update using the Windows Insider Program?

The easiest way to get the Windows 10 Creators Update early is by signing up to the Windows Insider program. This allows you to test out the latest Windows updates before they're officially released. 

It does mean you’re testing early versions of the updates, so there may be bugs or features that wouldn’t normally be found in the final official release. So if you rely heavily on your Windows 10 device and can’t risk experiencing problems with it, no matter how rare, then it may be best to wait.

If you're happy to go ahead, the go to the Windows Insider website and click ‘Get started’. Sign in with your Microsoft account (if you don’t have one, check out our How to create a Microsoft account guide) and follow the instructions to become a Windows Insider.

Once you're signed up, open the Start menu and click on the cog icon to load up Settings. Click on ‘Update & Security’, and at the bottom of the window that opens you should see ‘Windows Insider Programme’. Click ‘Get Started’ and a warning message will appear, reminding you that you’re installing an early version of Windows 10.

If you’re concerned about this, press ‘Cancel’ then head to our How to back up your PC before upgrading to Windows 10 guide for a tutorial on backing up your PC before you continue.

Once you’re comfortable with upgrading to the Windows 10 Creators Update, click on ‘Next’, then press ‘Confirm’. Your PC will then prompt you to reboot. Save your work, reboot, then open up the Settings window again, click ‘Update & Security’ then ‘Windows Insider Programme’.

This time you’ll be asked to choose your Insider level. Select ‘Fast’ to get the very latest build of Windows 10, including the Creators Update.

Within the following 24 hours you'll be alerted that there’s a new update to download and install. Do this, and your PC will then have the Windows 10 Creators Update installed.
