Acer Predator GX-791 windows 10 anniversary

I am unable to update to windows 10 anniversary as it doesn't appear on the windows update screen.  I know it is not something to write here as it is not very important but a friend of mine who has the predator g9-791 already updated it via the windows update. I want to ask if you were are able to update to windows 10 anniversary too, if not does it appear on your windows update menu at least. I found out that i can update to windows 10 anniversary from microsoft's web page https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/help/12387/windows-10-update-history or it will not be a wise desition as the new windows update still might not be avaliable for my device and by updating, it might mess up my drivers?

 

P.S. - I recieve new updates for windows 10

    Thank you for the reply. So there still isn't an update for predator laptops, then I will wait.

  • I do not really understand what you're talking about. What should Acer do for this Microsoft Update? You wait for a kind of "go"?

     

    I did encounter some bigger problems with that update due to my special configuration (tripple boot), so I decided to do an fresh install, after creating a disc with windows media cration tool.

     

    It works fine wthout problems. I'm only a bit dissappointed by the new Nvidia driver, or better new Geoforce Experience. I solved that by uninstalling GF.

     

    cheers
