• Microsoft has posted official ISOs of Build 15063 – sure to be Win10 Creators Update, version 1703

  Although the web site says you have to be a registered Windows Insider, in fact that doesn’t appear to be a requirement.

  As you’ve read, I strongly recommend that you not install this version until the bugs get shaken out – likely in July or August.

• Minimal install of Win10 Creators Update

  Posted on March 28, 2017 at 13:27 CDT by woody • Comment in the Forums

  

  I installed Win10 Creators Update, build 15063, in the cleanest way possible – no activation key, no Microsoft account, and turning off all of the Privacy settings.

  Here’s the completely clean Start menu.

  ARMED! is a suggested app

  The default tiles include:

  Drawboard PDF
  Get Office
  Facebook
  Skype Preview
  Twitter
  Sling
  Minecraft
  Microsoft Solitaire Collection
  Candy Crush Soda Saga
  Asphalt 8: Airborne
  Microsoft Sudoku
  Age of Empires Castle Seige

  Note that the programs aren’t installed. The tiles merely lead you to the Store, so you can install them yourself. And it’s easy to remove the offensive tiles; a right-click will do it. It’s even easier to ignore them.

  Welcome to the latest incarnation of Windows as a Service.

  But, no, you don’t want to install them.
