What you will encounter in Windows 10 October 2018 Update installation

Starting today you can Windows 10 2018 Update (ver 1809). See how to do it and what you will encounter.

The much-anticipated update October 2018 Windows 10 is already available for anyone who wants to download and install it, without waiting for Microsoft to do it automatically on October 9th. The process is very simple: Go to Settings> Update and Security and just press the "Check for Updates" button.

From there, you sit comfortably in your chair and wait for Windows to do their job. They will automatically find October 2018 Update, also known as 1809, and will start downloading it. They may also find another update of a program, depending on the settings you have made, and will download them together. It does not bother us.

You should be patient in this update as it is considered a great edition, with several changes, and things want their time. Once it goes down, it will automatically start installing. While you can do something else at the same time, you will be notified about starting the installation with a relevant update window.

During the installation, Windows will check your installed programs and if they find someone not compatible with the new version, you will receive an update window as below.

In our case we proceeded to remove Oracle VirtualBox 5.2.8 since it is about program and surely Oracle will release a new compatible version (if they haven't already).

Windows then completes your computer check with a new update and does not bother you again until you finish checking.

If you have a question about what percentage of installation they are, all you have to do is open Settings> Update and Security and see where they are.

When finished with the installation they will notify you with the following window. You should hit one of the three options either to restart directly, or to request a delay or to set the final installation time. For the process up to now you will need about 10 minutes and the rest of 10, depending of course on the speed of your internet.

If you press the restart button now your computer will start the final installation of Widows 10 October Update and will automatically do several restarts, In our case it did three more besides the initial one. At this point keep in mind that if something goes wrong with the computer's power supply then things will be difficult. Updates always keep a backup copy before starting anything but it is not always easy to restore the previous state if we have interrupted the update process in the middle. So make sure you don't turn off the power supply before the whole process is complete, even if you can see it you black without making any movement. As we told you above, patience is needed.

Upon completion of the update Windows will open the Edge and will welcome you to the October Update.

The tab will inform you about the very basic features of the new 1809 and if you want to learn more press the GET STARTER button under "See what else in new in this update".

The Windows Utility "Tips" will open, informing you of what you will see in this new update.

Click "What's New" to find out.

In addition to the tips you will see other topics with tips and tricks. A tour of all this will enlighten you in this regard.

How much about VirtualBox? We installed the latest 5.2.18 and worked just fine.
