Windows 10 Creators Update is Here: Get It Now!
It's time. We told you Windows 10 Creators Update was coming months ago, and the time to download it is now.
As the name suggests, the Creators Update centers around creative tasks like upgrading the classic Paint app to
Paint 3D or tricking out the Edge browser with some mixed-reality magic, which should come in handy if you have a Hololens augmented-reality headset or plan to get one of those mixed reality headsets Microsoft is working on.
The Creators Update also has a few gamer-centric goodies on tap, including Game Mode, which Microsoft claims will deliver better gaming performance and consistency. Livestreamers also get a new toy, thanks to the company's recent Beam acquisition, which Microsoft is hoping will become a strong alternative to Twitch or YouTube Gaming.
