How to install the Windows 10 Spring Creators Update with the Insider build
The Windows 10 Spring Creators Update will begin rolling out to the general public next week but the rollout will take place in stages, as a result, not everyone will get it on day one. If you can deal with possible bugs and compatibility, here’s how you can install Windows 10 Spring Creators Update on your computer.
While the update will be rolled out in stages, manual downloads of Windows 10 Spring Creators Update will also be offered to those who don’t want to wait any longer. If you can deal with possible bugs and compatibility issues, Microsoft is also offering manual ways to upgrade the PCs. It goes without saying that manual downloads might come with bugs and issues due to the missing drivers and firmware support.
It is, however, worth noting that Microsoft hasn’t officially announced the release date of the Windows 10 Spring Creators Update but by the looks of things, the company is projected to launch the new Windows 10 release next week. You can already download the Windows 10 Spring Creators Update with a small trick, but before upgrading your PC, let’s learn more about the method.

What the heck is Windows Insider program?
Microsoft says that the Windows Insider Program advances your computer to the latest Windows 10 version as soon as they’re available. The Windows Insider program is a free program to deploy the unreleased builds of the operating system and give feedback to the software giant. The Insider program has three rings:
- Fast Ring: New buggy Windows 10 builds with major changes.
- Slow Ring: Major Windows 10 builds but not as buggy as the builds from the Fast Ring.
- Release Preview Ring: This ring is for you. If you’re looking for Windows 10 Spring Creators Update without any major bugs, enroll your PC into the Release Preview Ring. RPR is the most stable ring of the Windows Insider program.
