Windows 10 Spring Creators Update - coming to a PC near you soon!



At some point next month, Microsoft will start to push out the Windows 10 Spring Creators Update.

When the OS upgrade is released proper, we'll be on the scene with the full details. In the meantime, here's your need to know:

* Microsoft reckons the operating system will take, on average, 30 minutes to install, which is much shorter than usual.
* The OS will feature a thing called Timeline, which presents a summary of what you've been up to over the past 30 days, with on-screen links to apps and documents.
* You can share files with physically nearby devices using a wireless feature called Nearby Share.
* Shell and other bits and pieces of the desktop will look nicer. You may be forced to use Edge, though, but at least you can mute the browser's tabs.
* The Photos app in Windows 10 will be updated to use the High Efficiency Image File Format, a change that promises to improve the quality and compression of pictures.

Exactly when this update – codenamed Redstone 4, aka version 1803 – will land, and what's actually in it, is anyone's guess right now as Microsoft is being coy about the final change log. The software is largely expected to roll out from April 10, that being the month's Patch Tuesday.
