Windows 10 Creators Update Available for Download
Even though the awaited Creators Update for Windows 10 is only set to arrive on April 11th, users who want to get ahead of the launch - and maybe themselves - can now update their version of Windows. Through the Windows 10 Update Assistant, Microsoft has made it possible for users to update to the latest version of windows ahead of time. After downloading and running the tool from Microsoft's website, it should display that Build 15063 is available - the official build number for the Creators Update.
The most awaited feature for the upcoming Windows update should be the Game Mode, though Beam live-streaming (which some say is better than Twitch) from the Game Bar, a PiP (picture-in-picture) mode for streaming videos while working on those pesky Excel budget .xlxs, and improved privacy settings (which aren't at the same level as the special edition built for the chinese market, though.) Microsoft's Edge is also seeing performance and security improvements, and Windows will now integrate a night mode that reduces blue light emissions - and thus the strain in your old eye globes. You can now also lock your Windows 10 PC at a distance through Windows Hello on your smartphone of choice, and can partake on some crazy Paint marathons with its improved 3D tool, which should elevate it to new, never before seen heights - maybe in the next update you can use the new Paint with Mixed-Reality products?

No disrespect, just want the facts of course.
Just making sure he wasn't falling for the earlier false rollout. Thanks for pointing out your well-cited sources man, gotta read more lol.
j/k :)
EDIT well took about an hour even for update to complete. Seems okay so far....like mentioned Game Mode is on by default and can be found in Settings/Gaming.
Left behind a windows.old 32.2GB and a Windows Upgrade 19.9MB folders. I will hold off on cleaning that up for a little bit just to be sure.
It is nice to see that Disk Cleanup now actually cleans the damn Windows.old, something that hasn't worked right for ages now. At least something positive :)
My next step is a clean installation.
PS. This section was probably not the best spot for these post though as it's the "News" section.
installed in 10 minutes and kept all my programs.
