Microsoft delivers Windows 10's 1607 upgrade
Microsoft today began distributing 2016's major Windows 10 upgrade to customers via the operating system's update service.
Labeled "Anniversary Update" in a nod to the July 29, 2015, release of the inaugural edition, it was officially tagged as version 1607 to denote year and month. The build number assigned to today's code was 14393.10.
Although the upgrade can be downloaded immediately by impatient users -- they simply manually trigger a check for updates in the Settings panel -- the majority will receive it on Microsoft's schedule.
