| New Windows 10 users are unable to update their operating system for 31 days |
MICROSOFT'S blockbuster update to Windows 10 is delayed for some users, but there is a solution.
Microsoft started to roll-out its first major update to Windows 10 – codenamed Threshold 2 – last night.
But users who have recently upgraded to Windows 10 – within the last 31 days – are currently unable to download and install the new update.
The Threshold 2 update is unavailable to new users so that they can roll back to their previous operating system, Microsoft has confirmed.
Fortunately there's a quick workaround for those who want to get their hands on the new update as soon as possible.
Simply navigate to the Microsoft Windows 10 download page – and then hit the Upgrade button.
This downloads the Microsoft migration tool, which is preloaded with the latest version of Windows 10 and can upgrade your operating system for you.
Granted, it's a little arduous. But its the fastest way for users who have recently upgrade their operating system to get the latest Windows 10 performance tweaks and features.

Microsoft claims its Threshold 2 update brings 30 per cent performance boosts over Windows 7 machines running on the same hardware.
The blockbuster operating system update also brings performance fixes, visual tweaks, new functionality for virtual assistant Cortana and IT-level Windows 10 management tools to your PC.
One of the most noticeable visual changes to the Microsoft OS is the addition of coloured title bars to all desktop apps.
Skype functionality is also now baked directly into new dedicated messaging and video call apps (which Microsoft was scheduled to release earlier this summer).

Both new Skype apps are available in the Windows Store and offer simple access to instant messaging, audio and video calls – without having to install the full Skype software.
Microsoft has labelled this latest update its "next milestone" for Windows 10, which rolled out earlier this summer.
Amongst the new additions, Windows 10 users are now able to install apps to external storage devices.
The news comes hours after Apple CEO Tim Cook slammed Microsoft's first in-house laptop, the Surface Book.
