    • Microsoft has finally started rolling out the Anniversary Update to all eligible Windows 10 users. However, since a huge number of computers needs to get the update, the company decided to roll it out gradually, so not everyone is going to get the Anniversary Update immediately.

    It could even take a few days for some users to finally receive the update via Windows Update. However, if you’re not so patient, and you don’t want to wait for the update to come through Windows Update, there’s actually a way to upgrade your Windows 10 to version 1607 manually.

    Upgrading Windows 10 manually is actually a simple action, and it requires just one tool. So, let’s see how to upgrade your computer to the Anniversary Update, even if you still haven’t receive it from Windows Update.
