The Windows 10 Fall Creators Update is out now and will arrive on most peoples Windows 10 computers now or shortly. First it is a big update and took several hours – just over 2 and a couple of reboots to get everything installed , so that after the first successful installation , check Windows update again as you will find there maybe other updates. I have not had an issue with the Fall Creators Update but have read of some issues with things such as the start menu. This article may help: Windows 10 Fall Creators Update problems: how to fix them Take note of the comment on antivirus issues.

So back in May I ordered the Surface Laptop , Microsofts new product and waited for this week to arrive. The Surface laptop went on sale on Friday in major stores such as Harvey Norman and is available but my Surface laptop was nowhere to be seen , it had arrived in Adelaide at DHL early Friday morning and was forwarded for delivery as the screenshot will show.

According to my advice on my Microsoft account it however was still with DHL. So I sit and wait.
