  • You can manually update Windows 10: Windows+I (open Settings) ⇒ Mise à jour et sécurité ⇒ Check for updates
  • Check for updates, apply the updates and reboot until there are no more updates available. At that point the installed version of Windows 10 should have the same version number as the latest one in Windows 10 release information

    • 1709 is also called Windows 10 Fall Creators Update
