[Windows] Windows Creator's Update, What's New ?

Here's the major update for windows and what you get here:

-- Browse better, faster with Microsoft Edge
Surfing the web with Microsoft Edge just got better. We packed it with new features to help you organize tabs, read e-books, stay more secure, and use Cortana and Windows Ink to bring browsing to life.

-- Explore, create, and share in 3D
Make 3D models from scratch in Paint 3D. Open and view 3D models from the web, remix them with easy-to-use-tools, and debut your work on Remix3D.com.

--A new way to organize Start
To clear some space on the Start menu, group your app tiles into folders by grabbing and dropping a tile on top of another tile.

--Personalization just got more personal
Express yourself with more colors and themes than ever. Customize the look of Windows 10, down to the hue. Windows even remembers previous themes you've explored, so it's a breeze to go back to whatever theme suits your mood.

--Sleep better with a night light
Displays emit blue light—the kind of light you see during the day. Windows can now show warmer colors to rest your weary eyes and make it easier to sleep at night.

--Inking with Office
Wield your finger or digital pen to annotate and edit docs, strike through words to make them disappear, circle text to select, and highlight with precision. Learn more about inking in Office.

--Watch free, 360° videos and more
The Movies & TV app now comes pre-stocked with 360° videos that let you look (or mouse) up, down, and all around as the video plays. You can also watch movie trailers, get recommendations based on your viewing habits, and browse and buy new movies and TV content right in the app.

--Stay safe with Windows
Windows Defender is now Windows Defender Antivirus, featuring built-in virus and threat protection, as well as family options to help keep you safe online. Visit the Windows Defender Security Center to see how Windows is helping protect your PC.
