Basically, this tool can help you install updates for Windows 10 features, but you can now use it for installing Creators update as well. Using this tool, you can manually check whether you’re running the latest Windows 10 version and also install the Creators update on your PC.
To install the Creators Update using the assistant, do the following:

If your PC is compatible, then you can hit the “Next” button and it will start downloading the elements for making the update ready. Once the update is ready, you can click on the “Restart Now” button to complete the installation.
When you have completed the above steps, the Creators Update will automatically install while keeping your apps, settings, and files intact. The installation time depends on the speed of your Internet as well as hardware configuration.
