Microsoft held an event in New York City in October to make major announcements, which revealed the company's plans in dropping the Creators Update for Windows 10, dubbed "Redstone 2." At the time, Microsoft provided a vague early 2017 release window, but recent reports suggest that the update will be rolled out in April.

According to MSPoweruser, the update was initially slated for a March release, but the final version number of 1704 suggests that the Creators Update will be launched in April instead. The report also stated that "17" refers to the year 2017, and "04" refers to the month of April.

The Creators Update will be rolled out in waves, much like what Microsoft did with 2016's Anniversary Update. This means that users of Windows 10 will be able to download the update manually as soon as it goes live.

While details on what the update includes remain scarce, The Verge reported what to expect apart from bug fixes and finalizing additional features. The Creators Update will include the Windows Holographic user interface, which will serve as built-in support for VR headsets from Asus, HP, Dell and other hardware suppliers in 2017. Some of these headsets are prices as low as $299.

Additionally, the Creators Update will see the inclusion of a 3D version of Microsoft Paint, changes on the Action Center and allow users to interact with friends using MyPeople in the taskbar. Along with that, Windows 10 users will be able to broadcast video games in 4K with Beam.

Microsoft is currently finalizing things for the upcoming Windows 10 Creators Update, which is expected to be feature locked come January. This means that most of the shipping features will be made available by that period, although Microsoft will be hard at work on polishing before the official release. The company is yet to make further announcements on "Redstone 2" in the coming weeks, with MSPoweruser noting that Microsoft may still make changes.
