Microsoft has released the first significant update for its Windows 10 operating system since it was released on 29 July of this year.

Although members of the Windows Insider program have been testing versions of this update since shortly after the release of Windows 10 at the end of July this is the first update, beyond the regular Cumulative Updates that have been released, that non Insiders will see on their systems.

The upgrade is being delivered through Windows Update and will use the same upgrade process that everyone experienced with the July Windows 10 release.

However, if you prefer not to wait for the staged rollout and want to do an in place upgrade or a clean install, you can use the Windows Media Creation Tool to either build an installation USB or save the ISOs.

The Media Creation Tool will allow you to store/create install media for both 32 and 64 bit versions of Windows 10 and it will identify the version of Windows already installed on your device to upgrade or install the right version of Windows 10.

Check out the gallery to see the step by step process to upgrading/clean installing the Windows 10 November Update using the Windows Media Creation Tool.

You begin this process by downloading the tool from Microsoft.

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.
