The Windows 10 October 2018 Update was launched live at Microsoft's Surface hardware event in New York City.
However, Microsoft has stressed that the rollout of the new upgrade will be "phased and controlled", meaning it will steadily arrive for all users. Microsoft claimed that as with prior Windows 10 feature rollouts, their goal is to deliver the October 2018 Update in a phased and controlled rollout to provide a great update experience for all.
In addition, they noted the global rollout out via Windows Update will be done in the coming weeks, and as with previous rollouts, they will use real-time feedback and telemetry to update when data shows your device is ready and will have a great experience.
However, Microsoft insisted any Windows 10 fans that are keen to get their hands on the latest and greatest software can download it manually by heading to the system settings of their compatible device.
The company explained: "While we encourage you to wait until the update is offered to your device, if you’re an advanced user on an actively serviced version of Windows 10 and would like to install the Windows 10 October 2018 Update now, you can do so by manually checking for updates."
"In the Search box in the taskbar, type “Check for updates.” Once there, simply click “Check for updates” to begin the download and installation process."
The update provides a score of new functionality for fans of the operating system. Android users can download the "Your Phone" application that will allow photos and texts to be instantly accessible on a Windows 10 device, while Apple users are able to seamlessly transition from a browser on their iPhone to a PC thanks to a new "linked phone" feature.
The Windows 10 October 2018 Update also brings 157 new emoji and tweaks the look of existing ones, according to a source. Microsoft Office apps have also seen a host of new additions, wherein users are now able to insert 3D models into both PowerPoint presentations and Word documents. Some fresh AI ink features now allow Windows 10 users to jot down a bullet point list that will then be formatted into typed text.
