Preparing back up all is important before update Windows 10 with the Fall Creators Update.
1. Backup
Using the system image function that has been built into Windows, but the wholething will be even easier if you use a tool like Macrium Reflect to save an image of your current Windows system on an external hard drive. If the Fall Creators Update fails to work for some reason, you will easily be able to fall back on a functioning system C
2. Check Windows.
In situations involving blue screens or other Windows problems, you should solve them before you install the Update.
You can run a system check with the help of the ‘Run’ command,
3. Free Up Memory Space
Depending on the version, the downloads in the Fall Creators Update could weigh between 2.5 and 5 GB. However, these figures don’t really tell the whole story when it comes to the amount of space you’ll need. If you really want to be on the safe side, you should have at least 20 GB of free memory space. The Windows disk clean-up tool will help you reach this number, but remember to click on the ‘‘Clean up system files” option, so that the tool will also take parts of previous Windows installations into consideration. After all, these things can really take up quite a lot of space.
4. Prepare Drivers
Most of the problems associated with the installation of large Windows Updates revolve around defective drivers. This kind of problem can cause other minor ones (such as missing details in sound settings), but they could also completely paralyse your system.
For example, if it involves a broken network card driver or incompatibilities in graphics card drivers. You should at least keep a second computer handy, so that you will be able to use it to reload drivers and tools in case you run into difficulties. Also, you could also visit the websites of the companies that manufactured your PC or notebook, to check whether drivers are already available for the Fall Creators Update and download them in advance.
5. Install The Fall Creators Update
You are now ready for the Fall Creators Update and can pick from three ways of installing it.
Problems While installing an Update, you will find that Windows is only too happy to object to the presence of system tools. These could be third-party virus scanners, tuning tools, encryption tools etc. In fact, this group might contain just about anything that burrows deep into Windows. Do you absolutely have to remove all these tools? If you want to play it safe, then the answer is yes.
However, you will definitely have to remove hard drive encryption software. Also, when it comes to other special variants like dual-boot systems featuring both Windows and Linux, you can safely assume that the Fall Creators Update will not inherit your configuration. According to Microsoft, the list of exotic configurations also includes transferred user folders. Such folders should be copied back onto the ‘‘C” drive before you run the upgrade. Sometimes, the small things are the things that end up getting in the way of large Updates. For example, Microsoft recommends that you remove external data storage devices before you install the Fall Creators Update.

You can run a system check with the help of the ‘Run’ command,
- Using the [Windows] + [R] shortcut.
- All you have to do now is type in the command ‘perfmon /report’,
- Windows will take care of the rest. The result of this command shows you exactly where your Windows system has problems
- if there are any. Take a look at the report and use the device manager to update your drivers and use the software administration facility to take a look at the installed programmes. Ideally, you should get rid of the tools that you’re definitely not going to use anymore, and the final Updates will take care of all the others. Many users rarely restart Windows, but this would be a good time for a reboot.

5. Install The Fall Creators Update
You are now ready for the Fall Creators Update and can pick from three ways of installing it.
- If you want to use the simplest method, you should run a Windows Update to get your hands on the newest version of Windows 10. However, the problem is that there are around 500 million devices running Windows 10. Since all of these devices are capable of receiving the Update, the server congestion can be quite heavy during the first few weeks. That’s why Microsoft decided to step on the brakes and move the Update onto its Update servers in instalments.
- Many users are complaining that the Windows Update remains silent for days and weeks on end, refusing to display the Fall Creators Update. However, this isn’t a defect in the system; it’s exactly what Microsoft wants. The Update can be made to do what it’s supposed to do easily and immediately using the Windows 10 Update Assistant. The Windows 10 Update Assistant checks the system for compatibility, gets the Fall Creators Update and installs it.
- Those who want more options can use the Media Creation Tool instead. Although the Media Creation Tool can deal with the Update, it also offers you the option of downloading the entire Fall Creators Update as an ISO file, a step that is necessary in situations involving new installations. The tool can also burn a DVD for you, or create a bootable USB stick containing the newest version of Windows 10.
