Microsoft is expected to roll out its Creators Update for Windows 10 some time next month, but if you don’t want to wait that long, you can actually download and install the update right now.

Windows 10 build 15063 — which was recently made available to members of the Windows Insider program — is thought to be the “release to manufacturing” (RTM) build of the Creators Update, according to Neowin. In other words, virtually everything that will be in the final update is contained within build 15063.

As Neowin notes, Microsoft has yet to make any formal announcements about the build number that will accompany the Creators Update (and it’s possible the company won’t make an announcement), but with so little time remaining before the update arrives, this is likely the final build. If you want to get your hands on the build now, you can click on either of the links below to download the appropriate ISO file for your machine:

Once you’ve downloaded the ISO file, just mount the image in File Explorer and double click on setup.exe to begin the installation process. If you don’t feel comfortable mounting a disc image and installing a new build of the operating system manually, keep in mind that the final version of Creators Update will likely roll out to the public within the next two or three weeks anyway. You’ll just have to be patient.

Bug fixes and minor improvements are expected to be added to build 15063 before the public release as well, so you’ll probably need to update again anyway next month.
