Windows 10 April 2018 update: everything you need to know

The next version of Windows 10 is finally ready to download as a free update that adds some potentially game-changing new features as well as some welcome features that bring it up to par with what you might expect from a smartphone. Instead of adding tools for people creating media, as the previous two updates have, the latest version of Windows 10 is focused on time and task management. "We want to give you back some of your greatest currency, your time. Our hope is that you'll have more time to do what matters most to you – create, play, work or simply do what you love," said Yusuf Mehdi, corporate vice president of Microsoft's Windows and Devices group. That's what was reported earlier in the year, but Microsoft has made the wise choice to simplify the name this time round.
