Microsoft has confirmed that Windows 10 Creators Update will arrive to users via Windows Update on April 11, in line with the classic "Patch Tuesday". This is the third major upgrade to the operating system, and although many users may prefer to take their time before installing, others want to know immediately how it will behave on their computers. For those cases, there is the official update assistant, which already allows manual download of the latest build.
Users interested in always getting the latest Windows 10 build can join the Insider program, but just as with any beta software, there may be changes and stability problems that are not entirely viable in a work environment. The next major and stable update is the long-awaited Creators Update. Microsoft promoted this update as aimed at creators and designers specialized in visuals, but at the end of the day, what we want is more fixed bugs, better performance, and flexibility when it comes to postponing patches. The official release date is April 11, but if you want it now, you can already get a copy.
Using the Update Assistant
There are two shortcuts. On one hand, we have the official update assistant, or "Windows 10 Update Assistant". The assistant compares the installed build number with the latest version on the servers and offers that update. This is somewhat the slower option, but it requires almost no user intervention, and if the current Windows 10 installation is relatively fresh, no technical problems should arise.
Downloading an ISO
As an alternative, ISO images are available with the help of the Media Creation Tool, or using external portals. I decided to create an ISO with the Media Creation Tool, and its version is indeed 15063.0, confirmed by Microsoft as the RTM of Creators Update. Still, everything seems to indicate that on April 11 there will be an extra cumulative update.
The rest is up to you. If you think your computer is ready, both download paths work very well. On the contrary, if you are convinced you need to wait longer than the days separating us from April 11, the most forceful way to block the update is (as much as Microsoft hates it) to interrupt the Windows Update service.
