How
to check or find out the version and build of Windows 10, Windows 10 until this article was made has become
Microsoft's mainstay operating system as the successor of the previous Windows
operating system. Microsoft simply forced its users to upgrade from the
previous version to Windows 10 and it seems that the efforts made are quite
successful where currently most new software and programs are released to run
optimally on the Windows 10 platform.
Windows 10 itself has experienced several major updates.
Many users have complained about the Windows 10 update and reported that an
update that was applied to Windows 10 actually caused their computer to
experience an error especially the blue screen and many software errors in
compatibility when running. This is the main reason that makes Microsoft
continuously provide updates on the Windows 10 operating system.
Update Version of Windows 10
Some versions of Windows 10 updates that are well known
include the 1602 Anniversary Update version, 1703 Creator Update, and 1709 Fall
Creator Update. Prior to the official release, Microsoft also launched Windows
Insider as a preview of how Windows 10 will be released when Windows Insider
can also be operated as an operating system in general. Until this article was
made, the Windows version had arrived in the 1809 October 2018 update with the
codename Redstone 5.
Regarding this updated version, Microsoft certainly
recommends that users update to the latest version of Windows 10. But of course
many users still don't understand the version of Windows that they have and how
to update Windows. Or there are also users who have software or programs that
can only run on certain versions of Windows. Yes!! there are programs that can
only run smoothly with certain versions of Windows because Microsoft on every
update also adds and subtracts features so that there are programs that can
only run on certain versions of Windows update because the required features are
only available in that version.
