It will not be called Spring Creators Update finally but it will still arrive in spring, even if it does so with a certain delay over the date originally planned for its launch: Microsoft confirmed to us on Friday that the update to the latest version of Windows will start today and now it's time to review everything we need to know about it.
The update to the latest version of Windows 10 starts today
Indeed, Microsoft announced to us on Friday that his update April 2018 (which can be called that by the hair, actually) would start the Day 30, that is, today. It must be borne in mind, however, that as has happened with previous updates, that does not mean that we will all receive it immediately, but rather that we must be patient and be aware that it is a large-scale process that those of Redmond treat to carry out with the maximum possible security and that, therefore, it will be relatively slow.
To make sure the update goes as smoothly as possible, Microsoft will start by sending it to the devices that have the highest compatibility assured, which means, as always, that the first to receive it are the devices Surface and some of the newest models of tablets and PCs from its partners. From there and according to the feedback they get, it will expand to more models.
The best thing is to simply wait for our team to receive it automatically, knowing that even if we are at the top of the list, that will not save us from some wait. However, if impatience overtakes us, it is always possible to force the update and do it in a manual if our device is compatible through the update wizard of Windows (the version that would interest us is the 1803).
The most interesting news of the new version of Windows 10
Regarding the news that you are going to leave us, probably the most interesting is the introduction at the end of Timeline, which was already one of the most anticipated for the Fall Creators Update but that finally did not come with it. For those who have not heard of it, it is basically a menu of recent apps, which will give us quick access to all the ones we have used in the last 30 days, allowing us to resume activity right where we left off.
Although that is the most anticipated, there are a few more news that will be very welcome, such as a new option for share files via bluetooth easier, new options to more conveniently organize your quick contacts and improvements for Edge that we have become used to expecting from each update and that this time include support for progressive web applications and a new reader for ePUB.
To all this we must add that we are going to appreciate some differences in design, since Fluent Design it spreads even more throughout the system in this version, and of course the required performance and stability improvements will not be missing either. We hope the waiting list treats you well and you can enjoy all of them soon.
