Microsoft lets you download the Windows 10 Creators Update a little early

Microsoft is making the final version of its Windows 10 Creators Update available early for those who want to install the update ahead of its general availability. While the software giant hasn’t officially confirmed Windows 10 build 15063 as the final Creators Update, sources familiar with the company’s plans tell The Verge that Microsoft is referring to this build number as Release to Manufacturing (RTM) internally.

 

 

Neowin has spotted ISO files for Windows 10 build 15063 on Microsoft’s servers, following a release to the fast and slow rings for Windows Insiders. This particular build will be released generally next month, with some reports suggesting the Windows 10 Creators Update could be available during April’s Patch Tuesday on April 11th.

 

 

If you’re looking to upgrade early and feel comfortable downloading an ISO file then you can simply mount the file in Windows 10’s File Explorer and run the setup.exe to get the latest Creators Update. More experienced Windows users will also be able to use the ISO file to clean install Windows 10 Creators Update.

 

Microsoft is expected to release further patches and bug fixes for Windows 10 build 15063, but these will be delivered on Windows Update as cumulative updates with the 15063.xxxx build number. Microsoft is also using the same 15063 build for its Xbox One update which is expected to be made available next month.

Update: 18 hours after the ISOs appeared on Microsoft's servers, it seems they've now been pulled, returning 404 errors when trying to download. It's likely that they'll return eventually as the 'final' RTM release - including the additional 15053.xxxx cumulative updates that will eventually roll out as the Creators Update. For now, it appears that build 15063 won't be available for a little white so hang in there for now!

One week early

 

Microsoft is prepping for a gradual, multi-stage rollout of the Windows 10 Creators Update starting on April 11th. But if you’re eager to get your hands on it a bit early, you can manually download it on April 5th. The company said in a blog post today that it will make the Creators Update available through its Update Assistant so anyone who is using a licensed version of Windows 10 can install it one week ahead of the official rollout.

 

You can, of course, already do so if you’re willing to download and mount an ISO file off Microsoft’s servers. Windows forum users were able to locate files for Windows 10 build 15063, which is generally considered to be the Release to Manufacturing (RTM) build number for the finished Creators Update. Head here to download that, so long as you’re a member of the Windows Insider Program.

 

For everyone else, the Creators Update is being pushed out on April 11th, first to newer PCs and onward to other devices over the course of a few months. Windows Phone users will have to wait until April 25th for Microsoft to start rolling out the update.

 

Microsoft is making an effort to ensure the update process allows for more customization options on the user end. “These include the ability to specify a time that is convenient for you, pause updates for a week, and expand the ‘active hours’ time window during which you don’t want to be disturbed by an update,” writes John Cable, the company’s director of program management, in today’s blog post. “If you’re running a Windows 10 PC at work, check with your IT administrator for details regarding your organization’s rollout plans.”

 

The update is mainly focused on smaller, more art- and entertainment-focused features like a new settings optimization feature called Game Mode for Windows 10 PCs and a new 3D Paint app expected to integrate with Windows Mixed Reality-enabled headsets down the line. Check out a more detailed feature list here.
