In October – alongside its new Surface Studio all-in-one PC, and Surface Dial rotary input device – Microsoft announced details of the Windows 10 Creators Update , the next major suite of improvements and additions to its OS. Microsoft didn’t commit to a firm release date for the new update, beyond stating that it would arrive sometime in « early 2017 ».
Internal references to Windows 10 ‘Version 1703’ previously hinted at plans to make the Creators Update available in March , as the first two digits of the OS version number are intended to refer to the year of its release, while the last two refer to the month. But a few days ago, a report claimed that the final version number will actually be 1704, pointing towards an April rollout.
