The Windows 10 Anniversary Update is finally here, and users have slowly begun to test the new features. Microsoft pushed the update a few hours ago, and you should bear in mind that it’s going to be rolled out in waves. If the Anniversary Update is not available for you yet, have a little patience and search for updates a bit later.

Microsoft has already updated the Windows 10 Update History page to show version 1607, inviting users to upgrade to the latest OS.
