Updated: How to download and install the Windows 10 Anniversary Update

Well, today's the day that many of you have been waiting for – at least those who have made the move to Microsoft's newest OS – as the Windows 10 Anniversary Update is now rolling out, replete with all manner of goodies.

Bear in mind that this is a massive rollout for Microsoft to handle, with over 350 million devices now running the OS, so it will be managed in stages. In other words, some folks will get it earlier than others, and you may have to wait a little while before it's available on your machine.

At any rate, grabbing the Anniversary Update is simplicity in itself.

If you want to manually check whether the update has popped up for your PC yet, do the following:

• Click on the Start menu (bottom-left corner of the desktop)
• Click on Settings
• Click Update & Security
• Click on Check for Updates

Of course, Windows 10 Home is set to download updates automatically by default anyway – there's no option to manually vet them as with previous versions of Windows – so your PC will pick up on the update by itself eventually.

There's no danger of missing out, Microsoft has made sure of that. But popping in for a quick manual check now and then might mean you pick up on the upgrade a bit earlier than you otherwise would.
