Exactly 10 days ago, speculations started spreading around the Internet that Microsoft might release the big update, known as Windows 10 Fall Update, Windows 10 November Update and Threshold 2 release on November 10th. Microsoft has today announced the general availability of Windows 10 fall update which will be available to users via Windows Update.

The previous reports of Fall Update release date started when a user asked about the availability of Cortana in India.
