Hence, you might need to wait a while for the update to become available for your computer.

Fortunately, there are several ways for you to quickly put your hands on the latest Windows 10 update along with its numerous features and security enhancements. This guide will teach you how to take matters into your own hands and to download and install the Windows 10 Creators Update on your PC, eliminating the need to wait for Microsoft to prompt you a notification for updating your operating system.
