How to update
If you want the latest fall Windows 10 Creators update, you need to join the insider program (Settings/Update & Security/Windows Insider Program - Press 'Get Started', then choose "Active development of Windows" in the "What kind of content you like to receive," then choose 'Fast' under the "What pace do you want to get new builds?". You will have to reboot and then come back to "Windows Update" and press the 'Check for updates' button. It may take some time before you are registered, but eventually the latest update which is Version 1703 build 16257.1 will show up.
Note: The version may change soon, so at the moment of this episode, this was the latest version. There is no ISO at this time, but just load the last Version of 1703 (Creators Edition) then do the update.
