Mac owners can now install the Creator Update — the latest version of Windows 10 — on their computers, making available a series of fresh Windows features that will make the relationship between the two camps that much more complicated.
It’s not all as simple as it sounds, though. First-timeinstallations of the Creators Updateare not compatible with the Boot Camp Assistant on macOS, but the good news is that Apple and Microsoft are working to fix this issue as soon as possible.
Fortunately, you don’t have to wait until the two companies do so. In the meantime, Mac users can install the Anniversary Update using Boot Camp Assistant and then upgrade to the Creators Update.
To make your task easier, we’ll list the steps to follow below.
Installing the Creators Update on a Mac
-
Install the Anniversary Update using Boot Camp Assistant. You candownload the Anniversary Edition directly from Microsoft.
-
Open Boot Camp Assistant from the Utilities folder of your Applications folder.
-
Follow the onscreen instructions to install the Anniversary Update.
-
While running the Anniversary Update, go to theMicrosoft download siteand click Update Now. Follow the onscreen instructions to install the Creators Update.
You can also wait until the Creators Update is offered throughWindows Update, a wise decision right now since many early adopters are reporting variousissues with the Creators Update, something we’re sure Microsoft will fix by the time the OS is released to the general public.
