San Francisco, Jan 12 (IANS) Microsoft’s latest Windows 10 Fall Creators Update is now officially available for all compatible devices, the company has announced.
“I’m happy to announce the Fall Creators Update (version 1709) is fully available for all compatible devices running Windows 10 worldwide. Full availability is the final phase of our rollout process,” John Cable, Director of Programme Management, Windows Servicing and Delivery, wrote in a blog post late on Thursday.
The software giant started rolling out the Fall Creators Update on October 17 last year and it is the fastest Windows 10 release to reach 100 million devices.
“We’re pleased to announce that the Fall Creators Update was the fastest Windows 10 release to reach 100mn devices, all while achieving higher customer satisfaction ratings compared to prior updates,” Cable added.
