The first major update to Windows 10 will reportedly arrive in November with tweaks to the installation process.
According to Paul Thurrott, the update will be known as Windows 10 Fall Update. It will be directly available to those upgrading from Windows 10 RTM, Windows 7, and Windows 8 without having to first install other updates, he says.
Microsoft confirmed that in a statement provided to ZDNet.
Also arriving as part of the update, reports The Verge, are better context menus and the ability to have another column of live tiles within Windows' Start menu. A new messaging app, as well as Skype, will be integrated directly into the OS as well.
You won't find any support for Edge extensions in the update, unfortunately. This feature, which some rightfully assumed would arrive by fall, is being bumped back to another large Windows 10 update that should hit by summer of 2016.
As of September 2015, Windows 10 was on 6.6 percent of global computers, according to Net Applications. Windows 7 is still the dominant OS at 56.53 percent, while even Windows 8 outpaces the latest Microsoft OS at 10.72 percent.
Just in case you'd like to upgrade to Windows 10, Microsoft last month downloaded the Windows 10 installer to PCs (here's how to get rid of it). Then, a glitch made it far too easy to activate that upgrade and install Windows 10, something Microsoft saidwas a "mistake."
