With the official release of the Windows 10 Creators Update underway from Microsoft through multiple channels including the companies Media Creation Tool (MCT), Update Assistant, and now Windows Update, more users will become aware of the updates availability.

For enterprise customers the ISOs are already available on MSDN for download by subscribers and they will be available for volume licensing customers on 01 May 2017.

In the interim there is plenty of information already available for IT Pros to get ready for the update on this update and what it brings.

A new download was made available yesterday, in conjunction with the official availability of the Creators Update, that contains all of the administrative templates that are used to help configure Group Policy for end users systems.

This collection of templates contains all of the new policies that are updated for new Creators Update related features. It is available in a single .msi file that can be installed right after the download to make the new templates available.

Senior Content Producer, IT Pro Today (Informa Tech)

I served for 29 plus years in the U.S. Navy and retired as a Master Chief Petty Officer in November 2011. My work background in the Navy was telecommunications related so my hobby of computers fit well with what I did for the Navy. I consider myself a tech geek and enjoy most things in that arena.

My first website – AnotherWin95.com – came online in 1995. Back then I used GeoCities Web Hosting for it and WindowsObserver.com is the result of the work I have done on that site since 1995.

In January 2010 my community contributions were recognized by Microsoft when I received my first Most Valuable Professional (MVP) Award for the Windows Operating System. Since then I have been renewed as a Microsoft MVP each subsequent year since that initial award. I am also a member of the inaugural group of Windows Insider MVPs which began in 2016.

I previously hosted the Observed Tech PODCAST for 10 years and 317 episodes and now host a new podcast called Faith, Tech, and Space. 

I began contributing to Penton Technology websites in January 2015 and in April 2017 I was hired as the Senior Content Producer for Penton Technology which is now Informa Tech. In that role, I contribute to ITPro Today and cover operating systems, enterprise technology, and productivity.
