Yes, it is the official release.
The only difference is that you have to go look for it instead of waiting until next week when it comes to you automatically.
3 of 5 of my main systems have been upgraded since last night. Incl this system I'm using right now.
#4 is currently underway. #5 will happen tomorrow.

You can get the mediacreation tool, and download the ISO. And do a clean install of it

I did a clean install of it the other day

I use CCleaner to get rid of the junk files and junk registry is that good solution? - I don`t really want reformat again.

 

[Paul NZ]

I wouldnt use registry cleaners.

These can and will stop programs from working. And windows can also fail to boot if it deletes the wrong things

It can happen, if you copy the windows.old files into the current windows folder files which will confuse CCleaner program to delete "system files" causing a usntable system.
Nevertheless, it been working fine as i run it every time i turn on computer.
Windows 10 Education 64-Bit Build 1607 with 7th Generation CPU working normally.

 

[Paul NZ]

And why would you do that? Thats why its.an old folder. Delete it

 

[valeman2012]

I will wait for the Build 1703 to auto appear on my Windows 10 Update, then i use ccleaner and defragger on hdd. Let see what happens.

 

[Paul NZ]

if its an ssd dont defrag it

 

[valeman2012]

Yes i said hdd

I do CCleaner,Pitform Defragger and Update my Graphics Driver once after i install Windows 10 Build 1703 (Creators Update) once it appears on my Windows Update..

If you don't have the edu version, you can use the Upgrade now button on same page as Media creation tool to download the upgrade assistant and it will update current build to 1703. I did it earlier, took 20 minutes.

Huh.

 

[Colif]

i realise this doesn't help you but as you already rewarded Paul the Best Post I thought I add extra info for anyone looking at this thread with questions about how they can get it. Especially as you didn't mention the EDU version in topic

Sorry if I confused you. I will go away now.

I've just installed the Creator's Update. After a reboot, CCleaner told me it could save 25GB space, so I ran it and also cleaned the registry. Mistake. Windows wouldn't boot. Now I'm having to restore through Macrium Reflect.

Recommend avoiding running CCleaner after installing Creator's Update, until you've created recovery media, or imaged the C: drive with e.g. Macrium.

As long your one of advanced users knowing how to prevent that from happening.
