Windows 10, Anniversary Update: how to upgrade, step by step instructions and recommendations

As early as early 2016, representatives of Microsoft Corporation officially announced that the so-called anniversary update of Windows 10 Anniversary will be available this summer. So it happened. Since August 2, 2016, many users of fixed and mobile systems have begun to receive (or should have received) Windows 10 Anniversary Update (Redstone) installation offerings. How to upgrade to a new build, if for any reason such an offer from the developer has not been received, now we will consider. In order to obtain an update, if it really is necessary or there is an urgent need to install it, you can use several simple methods, which will be covered in the following description.

Service Pack 1607: What's new?

If to judge a new modification on the materials presented on the official resource of the corporation-developer, changes in the system appeared quite a lot. However, this update was first called Redstone, and now the upgrade is indicated exclusively by technical means in the form of version and assembly.

At the moment, there is an update with the number 1607 (build version 14393.10). How to install Windows 10 Anniversary Update, now, and consider, the more so that it provides at least five simple methods. Let's dwell on possible problems separately.

But what is new in the new assembly? The main aspects of the innovations were the enhancement of Cortana's assistant's intelligence, the improvement of interaction with Android and Windows Phone devices, the support of Edge browser extensions, the introduction of ubiquitous biometric site authentication, the new computer system unlocking system with the help of a companion device, the improvement of Windows Ink technology for using handwritten Using the stylus, return to the full-featured Skype application, the Linux command line appearance, use of updated it power, and so on. d. But the first thing that is immediately obvious to the naked eye, it is a modified interface design in black, extended menu "Start" and "Notification Center". Also, some changes were made to the "Taskbar".

But now we will focus on how to install Anniversary Update for Windows 10.

New modification: upgrade options

As a method of installing this update, the following methods are suggested:

  • auto mode;
  • Update through the standard "Update Center";
  • Use the Media Creation Tool;
  • Upgrade with Windows 10 Upgrade Assistant;
  • Install the update using the ISO image.

They are quite simple. But for now, let's dwell on fixed systems, not taking into account Windows 10 Mobile Anniversary Update. How to upgrade to a new version of the system on mobile devices, will be considered separately. And now there are several solutions concerning computers and laptops.

Windows 10 Anniversary Update: how to upgrade and what should I consider before installing?

As for the update methods themselves, presented above, they all only mean using different means to achieve identical goals. As already understood, user data is not affected, and only system components are subject to change (update).

As it turns out, sometimes the situation with updates goes out of control. Problems can also begin during the installation of the update, and at later stages, even after its full installation. If the user has some specialized programs, it is better to solve the problem of installation with technical specialists, because today there are many cases when user applications stop working (it will be problematic to return to the initial state). But more on that later.

How to upgrade to Windows 10 Anniversary Update automatically?

So, let's start with the simplest. Based on what was stated by representatives of Microsoft, absolutely all users of the tenth version of the system on computers or mobile devices will in due time receive a special notification that at the moment they have an update of 1607.

This is somewhat reminiscent of the situation with the modification of the Technical Preview, when a registered user applied and waited for his turn. If there is time to wait, you can not rush. Anyway, sooner or later such a message will appear. The main condition for installation is the availability of an uninterrupted connection and access to the Internet. If the user agrees to the installation from the user's side, the entire process will be completely automatic.

Using the "Update Center"

But there is also a category of users who do not want to wait. For them, in the simplest version, the question of how to forcefully upgrade to Windows 10 Anniversary Update can be solved by applying the usual manual search for updates in the "Update Center".

To do this, go to the section and use the corresponding button. When the check is completed, the link to the installation of the 1607 assembly may appear in the results. If an update is found, a short message will appear on the screen, after which the package will be downloaded, ready for upgrade and installed after the system reboot confirmation (there may be several reboots).

When the update is installed, the version can be verified through the command line, registering in it winver (the console should be started on behalf of the administrator).

However, you should not count on this especially. How do I get an update to Windows 10 Anniversary Update if the search does not work? As easy as pie. For starters, you can use all the well-known tool called the Media Creation Tool, which was originally used to force the installation of the Technical Preview version.

The update using the Media Creation Tool

So, we need to install Windows 10 Anniversary Update. How to update with this utility? Yes, just like the initial assembly was installed.

Run the utility with administrator rights, then agree with the license and select the update of the computer (in this case, up to Windows 10 Pro) with the preservation of user data. Then follows the standard process, during which the system can be rebooted several times.

Windows 10 Upgrade tool

If the above described method does not like the user or, worse, there are errors and failures, you can try to apply a small utility Windows 10 Upgrade, which is downloaded from the official Microsoft website by clicking the update button and downloading the executable file Windows10Upgrade9252.exe to the computer.

How to upgrade to Windows 10 Anniversary Update with it? Also nothing complicated. It works on the same type as the previous program. We run the "EXX" file on behalf of the admin, wait for the results of the system compatibility check, follow the installer's instructions and wait for the installation process to complete.

Updating with an ISO image

There is one more technique that allows to solve the problem of installing Windows 10 Anniversary Update quite simply. How to upgrade? Simply use the ready image of the system, which you need to create in the Media Creation Tool, indicating the appropriate item at the installation stage.

When the image is created, in a normal "Explorer" you should double-click on it, and after creating the virtual drive, use the standard Setup.exe setup file. Then follows the standard scheme described above. You can download a ready-made image from the Internet (if you want, even from the official resource).

How to update your mobile system

Finally, consider the mobile version of the update Windows 10 Anniversary Update. How can I upgrade to this update on my mobile device?

Unfortunately, in this case the choice of means in comparison with stationary systems is extremely limited. It is best to use the manual search for available updates.

You can create it directly on your mobile device. First you need to enter the settings section where the update and security menus are selected, then the phone update point is used, and then the button for searching for available updates is pressed.

Immediately one should pay attention to one more side of the Windows 10 Anniversary Update installation. How to update is already understandable, but the main problem is that users who are not tied to mobile operators are the first to get a new assembly. As stated, the carrier versions will be available later.

Possible problems with installing updates

On this question, how to upgrade to Windows 10 new modification, we will leave it aside. Let's consider possible problems that may arise during the update process.

As usual, the Update Center itself can fail. It may very well be that you will first have to apply methods to eliminate his own errors. Also, problems can be observed if special utilities described above are used, but for some reason the download of the package has been interrupted or not completed. In addition, although it is claimed that the system requirements for computers have remained unchanged, it is hard to believe in this. Therefore, the update 1607 is better to install into the system not with a minimally configurable configuration, but at least with the recommended, or even better - with the configuration above. But even all this does not guarantee that the computer will work fine, because after installing this update, there is often a complete hang of the system. With what it is connected, until now no one really can explain.

Is it worth it to do?

Finally, we can not ignore the problem of the functioning of user applications that were installed in the old version. Today, user reviews say that some of them just stop working, executable program files are spontaneously renamed, the system does not recognize the programs and their launch files, believing that it is for this modification that they are not intended. Therefore, you need to have absolute certainty that the new assembly is extremely necessary for the user and will not damage the installed software. Incidentally, this situation was observed with the primary technical version, however, then it involved more free antiviruses and various optimizers.

Instead of an afterword

In general, as can be seen from all of the above, the problem of updating to a new jubilee modification of the system is not too complicated. What to use as a means of renewal, everyone decides for himself. However, if you approach the update from the point of view of maximum security and speedy procedures, it's best to turn to the help of special utilities, especially since these are official programs that do not exactly harm the system. And, of course, we should pay special attention to the hardware installed on the computer, as there is no guarantee that the new modification will work on it as expected.

Well and in a situation with mobile devices the choice is insignificant. Consoles only that the available update on mobile devices during manual search is determined much more often than on stationary computers or laptops. But here there are their pitfalls. To start on the official site you need to see a list of devices that will support the work of the new modification without any questions. If the user's gadget is not listed, you will have to install the update at your own peril and risk. Again, there is no guarantee that the system will work. And in the case of installing custom firmware it generally for all security reasons and can not be. So think a hundred times before doing such things.

And one moment. It should be understood that updating the GUI and allegedly improving some of the system's capabilities ultimately lead to the fact that system resources will be more involved (user settings for some components may not be preserved). I'll have to re-configure the system for myself, turning off all unnecessary. So, judge, do you need those opportunities offered by the new modification? The same assistant Cortana in the post-Soviet space is generally inaccessible. So what is the point of installing its new functions, if there is no original component in the system?
