How to Update Windows 10 to New Version 1511

The new update is installed via Windows Update service. So check it by going to Settings -> Update & Security -> Windows Update. If you have not found the update, check and do the followings.


 1. First, make sure your system is up to date. If not, install all the KB update left and restart your computer. Then check Windows update for the new software update.

2. If you have upgraded your Windows 7/8.1 to Windows 10 less than 31 days ago, then you have to wait more times to get the new update, because this is the grace period for downgrading your OS.

a) In the search bar, type gpedit.msc

b) In the Group Policy Editor, go to Local Computer Policy -> Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Windows Update.
