Furthermore, the same ISOs can be used to create installation media, such as USB drives or discs that can help you install the Anniversary Update not only on your PC but also on many others, so for IT admins, these clearly come in super handy.

However, you'll still need an Internet connection and you won't be able to create install media for use on other computers. Navigate to the Windows Update menu.
Launch the upgrade installer you just downloaded. You'll have to wait a minute while it checks for updates. You'll have to wait again while it checks for compatibility and downloads your update.
This process could take 20 to 30 minutes, depending on your Internet connection. Click Restart Now when the software prompts you. Once again, you'll be waiting a while for the update to complete. Windows 10 will eventually search for updates and find the Anniversary Update, but you can manually force it to search. However, this method isn't foolproof as you may have to try several times and it's still possible that the update won't be found.
