Microsoft has recently started the public rollout of Windows 10 May 2019 Update, and in addition to releasing the update in stages via Windows Update, the company also provides users with an alternative download method.

Media Creation Tool, the official tool that lets you upgrade a Windows 10 device and create installation media to upgrade others, has just received an update to support the May 2019 Update as well.

In other words, you can now use Media Creation Tool to upgrade your device to Windows 10 May 2019 Update or to create an USB drive that can then be used to install the new OS feature update on other devices.

The app comes with the same wizard-based approach, so you download Windows 10 May 2019 Update or create the installation media by following a few simple steps on the screen.

All Windows 10 editions available

On the other hand, I think it’s critical for users to know that forcing the upgrade to the May update with the Media Creation Tool could eventually lead to the system experiencing certain issues that would otherwise be avoided by waiting for the automatic rollout.

Microsoft makes Windows 10 May 2019 Update available via Windows Update for devices where full reliability is a certain thing, and if any issues are detected, systems are blocked from installing it. Media Creation Tool also performs some simple checks, including for incompatible software.

Media Creation Tool provides access to various Windows 10 editions, including Home and Pro, and you can use it to upgrade both 32-bit and 64-bit devices.

You can download Media Creation Tool for Windows 10 May 2019 Update from Softpedia using the link here.

As for the automatic rollout on Windows Update, Microsoft is expected to push it to more devices in the coming weeks, as they reach the validation stage and the update is considered to be fully reliable for more configurations.
