Windows 10 Fall Creators Update Coming Soon

/in /by

Microsoft is starting to roll out the next major update for Windows 10 dubbed the Fall Creators Update. This update will be slowly rolled out to all Windows 10 devices, so just be prepared for a longer-than-normal update process to take place at some point in the future.

At this time we do not know what issues, if any, will arise with this update but testing has started (mainly around iPrint, Filr, and the OES Client). These major updates are quite involved and so issues can arise with software not being compatible.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Network Services.
