Windows 10 receives pretty big updates every so often, such as the Creators update in March 2017, Fall creators Update in October 2017, and the April 18 and October 2018 update last year. Each of these major updates introduces new features to Windows 10, as well as security bug fixes and a whole lot more.
Despite Windows 10 being the most stable release yet, one of the most common problems experienced by the platform users is updating to the latest version of Windows 10 when it's released.
However, any updates like this won't show up as available to everyone and this means you'll have to resort to manually updating your operating system instead.
Before you start upgrading, you'll need to check which Windows 10 version you're already running. You can do this by heading to the "About Windows" screen.
If you're ready to install the latest version of Windows 10, you can use the Windows Update Tool (instructions below), although the Media Creation Tool alternative is the more reliable option. You simply need to download it, install it and use it to manually upgrade your PC to the latest version.
Just a little side note. When you run Media Creation Tool, you may not see any reference to upgrading to the late version of Windows 10 when using the software, or which version it will upgrade your system to. Instead, it refers to whether it's the Home or Business version you're trying to install and as long as this is the version you're running, you can hopefully be rest assured the newest build will be installed.
Also, make sure you've opted to keep the personal files and apps and click Install to keep your data, apps and the majority of your settings untouched. Now, when you hit install, it should start installing the most up-to-date version of the operating system.
