Method 1: Give Windows Update a try

While you may have tried Windows Update already, it is the easiest method to install the April 2018 update, so let's give it a try again.

For those who have not tried already, type 'update' in the search field as shown by step 1 below and then click on the 'Check for updates' search results as indicated by step 2 below.

When Windows Update is opened, click on the 'Check for updates' button and let Windows 10 see what updates are available. If you see an update named 'Feature update to Windows 10, version 1803', this is the April 2018 Update and it will start to download and install.

When it's done downloading and performing a preliminary install, Windows will prompt you to restart your computer. When you restart the computer, it will finish the installation and boot you back into Windows with the April 2018 Update installed.

Method 2: Use the Media Creation Tool

If Windows Update still does not show the April 2018 Update being available, the good news is that Microsoft updated the Windows 10 Media Creation Tool so that it installs the latest update. For those unfamiliar with this tool, the Media Creation Tool can be used to upgrade an existing Windows 10 install or to make a bootable USB drive or an ISO file, which can be used to create a bootable DVD, that you can use to upgrade a different computer.

To get started, download the Media Creation Tool and save it to your computer. Once it is downloaded, double-click on the downloaded MediaCreationTool1803.exe file and allow it to run.

If you wish to upgrade a different PC, you should select the 'Create installation media' and follow the prompts. For this guide, though, we will select the 'Upgrade this PC now' in order to upgrade the PC you ran the program on.

Once you select 'Upgrade this PC now', click on the Next button. The Media Creation Tool will begin to download the Windows 10 April 2018 Update (build 1803) and install it.

The installation process could take a while, so please be patient. Eventually you will get to a screen prompting you for information or to reboot the computer. Just keep following the prompts and when it's finished, the April 2018 Update will be installed on your computer.

You will know that the update has been installed as Edge will open with the 'Welcome to the April Update' page.
