`Windows
10’s May 2019 Update version 1903 will be available toward the end of
May. But what if you don’t want to wait that long and are eager to try
out the new features sooner? You’ll be happy to know that there is a way
to install the May 2019 update in April.
In
this article, we will show you how to install the May 2019 Update using
the Windows Insider Program before the official release date.
How to install the May 2019 Update using Windows Insider Program?
The
Windows Insider Program has been created to provide pre-releases of
Windows to get feedback from early adopters. While this option is
typically used by developers, any user can use the Windows Insider
Program to get new Windows updates before the official release.
However,
before you proceed with installing the update, note that making any
changes to the current installation of Windows 10 that you are running
on your PC can lead to system problems and data loss. It is, thus,
strongly recommended that you back up your data before you install the
new update using the Windows Insider Program.
When you are ready to download the May 2019 Windows 10 update 1903 version, follow these steps:
- Go to Settings.
- Select Update & Security.
- Choose Windows Insider Program.
- Press the Get Started button.
- Click Link an account.
- From the list, select your current Microsoft account — or another Microsoft account if you prefer.
- Press the Continue button.
- You will see a new window asking you, “What kind of content would you like to receive?” Choose Just fixes, apps and drivers.
- Click Confirm.
- Agree to the terms of use and click Confirm again.
- Finally, select Restart Now..
Once
you have gone through the steps above, the Windows 10 May 2019 Update
will become available in the Release Preview Ring and you will receive
it via Windows Update automatically..
Alternatively,
you can force install the update by navigating to Settings>Update
& Security>Windows Update and selecting Check for Updates.
How to remove your device from the Windows Insider Program
Once
you have successfully installed the May 2019 update, you may want to
stop receiving pre-releases. If this is the case, you will need to
remove your PC from the Windows Insider Program. Here’s how to do that:
- Go to Settings.
- Click Update & Security.
- Select Windows Insider Program.
- At the bottom of the page, you will see the “Stop getting preview builds” option. Toggle it off.
Now,
that you have toggled off the option to receive pre-releases, you will
only get official updates as long as you keep the automatic update
option enabled.
In order to keep your
system running smoothly — and this is especially important if you want
to experiment with pre-releases — it is recommended that you have a
reliable anti-virus program installed on your PC. Auslogics Anti-Malware
will keep your system free of malicious items and run regular virus
scans. It can also run alongside your main anti-virus with no
compatibility issues.
