How to Get Windows 10’s Creators Update Now




Microsoft will start rolling out Windows 10’s Creators Update starting April 11, but it will be a few months before every PC gets it. If you don’t want to wait, you can download the Creators Update from Microsoft right now.

To run Windows 10 on a Mac via Boot Camp, you’ll need to follow this procedure to install it. If you try to install it normally, you’ll see a Stop error with code 0xc000000f.

  • Use Microsoft’s Update Assistant

As part of the release of the Creators Update, Microsoft is offering a new Update Assistant tool. You can download this tool to manually opt into the Creators Update, even if Microsoft hasn’t pushed it to your device yet. It will also allow you to download the Creators Update a week early beginning on April 5, before its general release starts on April 11. Microsoft’s blog post notes that this tool is for advanced users using an officially licensed, or “genuine“, version of Windows 10.

Download the Update Assistant tool from Microsoft’s website and run it to get started. You’ll be told your PC is not running the latest version of Windows 10.

This dialog is a little unclear if you’re not familiar with Windows 10’s build numbers. If you’re using the Anniversary Update, you’ll be told your PC is running “version 14393”. The tool will offer to upgrade you to version 15063, which is the final stable version of the Creators Update.



Click “Update Now” and the Update Assistant will download and install the Creators Update for you. You can continue using your PC normally and even minimize the window, if you like. It will remain running in the notification area while it downloads the update.

  If you do this, you’re installing the update before Microsoft marks it as ready for your device, so you may encounter problems with hardware devices or software on your PC. If something doesn’t seem to work properly after installing the update, you can roll back to the Anniversary Update and wait until Windows Update offers your PC the update. The problem should be fixed by the time your PC receives the update normally. Microsoft gradually rolls out updates over several months so they can identify and fix problems like these.

  • Get Early Updates Next Time with the Insider Previews


If you’re running an Insider Preview build of Windows 10, now is a good time to leave the Insider Builds behind. If you stay on the “Fast Ring”, Microsoft will soon begin pushing you very unstable versions of the next Windows 10 update. You may want to switch to the “Slow Ring”, “Release Preview”, or even leave Insider Preview builds behind for now and use the stable version of the Creators Update. Head to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Insider Program on the Creators Update to choose your Insider Preview settings.

If, however, you want to get updates earlier next time, you can enable Insider Previews to get a pre-release look at these features. The “Release Preview” track of Windows 10, in particular, is pretty great, since it’s much more stable than the Fast and Slow rings, and will get you new updates without having to wait for the rollout. It’s still technically an Insider Preview—one that keeps you on the stable build of Windows 10 but gives you Windows updates, driver updates, and Microsoft app updates early—so download at your own risk. But in our experience, the Release Preview is a relatively stable track with quick updates, which is great.

Hardware Upgrade: How To Install New RAM

RAM is one of those upgrades everyone seems to skimp on when buying a PC, only to later wish for more. Regretting your underpowered memory purchase? Here’s how to speed up your machine by installing some additional memory. Memory is often one the critical bottlenecks on a PC, so faster, larger stores of RAM can go a long way to making your PC perform better and with more stability. It’s not hard, even for beginner geeks. Crack open that PC in today’s hardware upgrade! Identifying and Buying Your New RAM (The Hard Part)    Your RAM is likely installed in these slots on your motherboard, called the DIMM slots. This motherboard has room for six sticks of memory. Note the pins and how the RAM lines up with them—important to note to install properly. The median is off center to show you clearly which direction to orient them. If you’re strong, you can probably force them in backwards, but computers don’t really respond well to that kind of bullying. ...

What Is Memory Compression in Windows 10?

Windows 10 uses memory compression to store more data in your system’s memory than it otherwise could. If you visit the Task Manager and look at your memory usage details, you’ll likely see that some of your memory is “compressed”. Here’s what that means. What Is Memory Compression? Memory compression is a new feature in Windows 10, and is not available on Windows 7 and 8. However, both Linux and Apple’s macOS also use memory compression. Traditionally, if you had 8 GB of RAM and applications had 9 GB of stuff to store in that RAM, at least 1 GB would have to be “paged out” and stored in the page file on your computer’s disk. Accessing data in the page file is very slow compared to RAM. With memory compression, some of that 9 GB of data can be compressed (just like a Zip file or other compressed data can be shrunk down) and kept in RAM. For example, you might have 6 GB of uncompressed data and 3 GB of compressed data that actually takes up 1.5 GB in RA...

SYSTEM RESERVED PARTITION (WHAT'S THIS ?? ......WHAT DOES IT DO ??)

Windows 7, 8, and 10 create a special “ System Reserved ” partition when you install them on a clean disk. Windows doesn’t normally assign a drive letter to these partitions, so you’ll only see them when you use Disk Management or similar utility. The System Reserved partition was introduced with Windows 7, so you won’t find it on previous versions of Windows. The partition is also created on Windows Serer 2008 R2 and newer Server versions of Windows. What Does the System Reserved Partition Do? The System Reserved partition contains two important things: The Boot Manager and Boot Configuration Data:  When your computer starts, the Windows Boot Manager reads the boot data from the Boot Configuration Data (BCD) Store. Your computer starts the boot loader off of the System Reserved partition, which in turn starts Windows from your system drive.  The startup files used for BitLocker Drive Encryption:  If you ever decide to enc...
