Contents

“Microsoft has slashed the time it takes to install major feature updates to Windows 10 PCs by carrying out more tasks in the background.

The next major feature update to Windows 10, due in April 2018, takes an average of 30 minutes to install, 21 minutes less than last year’s Fall Creators Update.”

How long does Windows 10 take to update?

So, the time it takes will depend on the speed of your Internet connection, along with speed of your computer (drive, memory, cpu speed and your data set – personal files). An 8 MB connection, should take about 20 to 35 mins, while the actual installation itself could take about 45 mins to 1 hour.

Why does Windows Update take so long?

The amount of time it takes can be affected by multiple factors. If you’re working with a low-speed internet connection, downloading a gigabyte or two — especially over a wireless connection — can take hours alone. So, you’re enjoying fiber internet and your update is still taking forever.
