Windows 10 received an important update (the Windows 10 autumn update) in November and a new one has already been released with the update of this article (December 1, 2017). However, a large part of Windows has missed 10 devices because it is not automatically rolled out - you have to opt for an upgrade.
It is easy to find out which version you are using and then upgrade to the most recent version, which should read 16299.xx. But if you use 10240, you have missed it.
If you want to install the latest version of Windows 10, you can try to solve the problem with the Windows Update too, but we recommend using the Media Creation Tool instead.
It is important (and rather confusing) to note that the Ready to Install screen (shown below) does not really mention an upgrade to the latest version of Windows 10, or indeed, in which version the system will upgrade your system. Instead, it refers to the home or business version that you are trying to install. As long as this is the version you are using, hopefully you can rest assured that the latest version will be installed.
Also make sure that you have chosen to keep the personal files and apps and click on Install to keep your data, apps and most settings untouched. When you press Install, it should start by installing the latest version of the operating system.
