\nWindows 10 April 2018 Update is slowly rolling out to users with compatible systems, but don\u2019t expect to be offered it any time soon
If you can\u2019t wait to try the new features, the good news is Microsoft has updated its Media Creation tool to include the update and you can use this to download Windows 10 now and create your own installation media on either a USB flash drive or DVD. This is particularly handy if you want to perform a clean install, or update multiple computers in quick succession.
If you\u2019ve previously updated Windows 7 or 8.1 to Windows 10 on your target system (or performed a clean install), then you won\u2019t need a license key, as you will already have the necessary digital requirement. If you\u2019re installing it on a PC that has never had Windows 10 on it, then you\u2019ll need a valid Windows 10 license.
To get started using the Media Creation tool, go here, and click the ‘Download tool now’ button.
Save and run the file, and agree to the ‘Applicable notices and license terms’. You\u2019ll be offered two choices. You can upgrade the PC you\u2019re on to Windows 10 April 2018 Update, or create installation media for another PC. If you just want to start using Windows 10 select the former. To create an installer to use later, or elsewhere, select the latter.
Click Next and select the language, edition, and architecture (32-bit, 64-bit, both).
When choosing the edition, you\u2019ll need to select the one that matches the Windows license you have. If you’re not sure, and the installation media will be used on your current system, check the box next to Use the recommended options for this PC.
Click Next, and choose either USB flash drive or ISO file as your installation media. If you select the latter you\u2019ll need to burn it to DVD later.
Click Next again, and it will download the file. This is several gigabytes, so will take a while to complete depending on the speed of your internet connection. Once it has finished you\u2019ll be ready to upgrade an existing PC or install Windows 10 April 2018 Update on a new system. It’s a large update, so be warned it may take a while to complete, depending on the speed of the target PC.
