Less than a year after the last update, Microsoft officially released the new Windows 10 Creators Update today . For those who still haven't clear the Microsoft strategy, let's say immediately that a Windows 11 release is not currently planned and that Microsoft, unlike in the past, updates Windows 10 every year with a new version that does not only have security patches, but also visible improvements and modifications.
After, therefore, the 2016 anniversary update, it's the turn of the 2017 Creators Update .
To be precise, we move from the Windows 10 version 1607 build 14393 to the Windows 10 version 1703 build 15063 (1703 stands for the year 2017 March) which is, in fact, the Creators Update .
The update to Windows 10 Creators Update will arrive for everyone starting from April 11th, gradually, through Windows Update.
Those who, however, do not want to wait, can already download Windows 10 Creators Update to force the update of their computer and proceed with the direct installation.
Finally, those who want to do a clean installation of Windows can download the ISO of Creators Update and directly install the latest version of Windows 10 on the PC.

To download the Windows 10 Creators Update, just go to the Download the Media Creation Tool and press the Update Now button.
The Windows10Upgrade9252.exe file will then be downloaded and can also be downloaded directly from this link.
Then run this file to open the Windows 10 update assistant which after a quick scan will detect the availability of a new Windows version, precisely the most recent version 15063.
Then press the Update button and if the requirements are met, proceed with the download and subsequent installation which will be completely automatic.
Just remember, before proceeding with the installation of the update, make sure in the meantime that you have disk space (and free up space on Windows 10) and then that all the Windows Update updates have already been installed.
The installation will take, after the initial download and the first restart, several minutes or even a few hours depending on the computer in use.
During the installation you will be asked to accept or deny the privacy options and to activate or deactivate Cortana, the voice assistant.
If you want to download Windows 10 Creators Update for manual installation and ISO creation (to be used on other PCs so as not to repeat the download several times) you can always do it from the download page of the Microsoft site by clicking on the link " download now the tool . "
