It showed up in my Windows 10 laptop this morning. Got to download it tomorrow in the AM.

[Skhilled (OP)]

I just saw how anyone can download it now from the Windows site but it may not have all off the device driver updates for your particular PC.

[Skhilled (OP)]

Updating now...

[Ken]

I'm doing the d/l now. If you wanted to do the direct stand alone d/l you must search carefully to find the correct package.

For me it was finding This Page and hopefully clicking on the correct download. (Update for Windows 10 Version 1607 for x64-based Systems (KB4013418))

LOL, that's not it! I just updated to that version too but didn't see the paint 3d program that's supposed to be in it. So, I went to the link you gave and saw this:

"After it’s installed, your device will be running Windows 10, version 1703."

What a mix-up! 

Anyways... my d/l is stalled out at 1.0gig, I may have to try again tomorrow morning. My isp puts on the brakes after 8AM. 

[Skhilled (OP)]

Yeah, it got me too. LOL

Maybe we need this one first then will get the "Creators". At least, now we know...

[Ken]

Getting set up for another try tomorrow.

Looking at this app to get the update in a different way.

[Skhilled (OP)]

What page is that?

EDIT: Just got a message about an update for my Nvidia video card drivers for Creators and downloading that one now...

[Ken]

Here is the link to that page:

Click on the Update Now button.

[Skhilled (OP)]

Oh, I saw that one. That's the one if you want it now and don't want to wait.

[Ken]

My system has been doing the d/l for about two hours and it' only at 22%! 

EDIT: Just shut it down... can't let it boil on for 8-10 hours like this.

Had one update yesterday. think I'm on build 1607 atm, will wait for the next one.  Luckily I'm on fibre broadband, so the download part doesn't take long.  The install itself takes longer.   This must be a mare on a slower download speed, but for some reason they think everyone has fast broadband, which isn't the case at all.

[Skhilled (OP)]

Most people on this side of the pond don't have those fast speeds yet although the commercials have been going on about it for years. The worse thing is that you can't get it...it's unavailable to most. I have the same problem with games, they are all going to downloads now instead of on disc. They will lose a lot of business until fast speeds are available because most will not be bothered to download.
