But before we fully embrace the push of the new Windows 10 Creators Update, we need to get something ready beforehand.

But if you are running Windows 7 or 8.1, then you will need to purchase Windows 10 to be eligible for the upgrade.

Of course you have full control over all the updates. The Windows Update is turned on by default on Windows 10, meaning that you are getting the new released patches and builds downloaded and installed on your computer automatically. For some users, this is pretty neat and satisfactory since they are always getting the latest updates and patches installed.

Making ti worse, it has been reported that the automatic update goes on even when your computer is using metered internet access, meaning that you would end up being charged for data that have never been planned on using. To disable Windows Update, here is what you need to do. 1) ClickStartbutton, then go toControl Panel. In the Control Panel, chooseSystem(View byLarge icons). 2) ChooseAdvanced system settingson the left side of the pane. 3) Navigate toHardwaretab, then chooseDevice Installation Settings. 4) On the new window, chooseNo (your device might not work as expected) optionand then clickSave Changesto save and exit.

Now, you don’t have to worry about getting the update without your consent. When you finish doing the preparation for the Windows 10 Creators Update, all there left is to wait for your machine to be targeted at the update. Just be patience, in just a couple of weeks, you will get hands to the amazing and exciting features in the biggest update following Windows 10 Anniversary Update.
