Can I chhose when the Anniversary Update installs?

I am running Windows 10, Version 1511, Build 10586.589. I assume that
means that I will receive the Anniversary Update. I would like to
choose when to install it either by locating a copy on the web and
installing it before Microsoft decides to or by delaying the update
when it arrives. Is that possible?

You can use the MediaCreationTool to make yourself an ISO9660
image. You don't even have to burn that to DVD to use it.
You can right-click the resulting some.iso file and select
"Mount". Then run Setup.exe off the resulting virtual
optical drive and start the upgrade install.

Make a backup of C: before you do that, just in case.

And when it is finished, the version this morning
is 14393.187. So when you install, it's going to be
a lower version of 14393, and then it'll apply
a Cumulative of some sort, to finish the job.

The C:\Windows.old will delete itself in 10 days
or so, or you can use "cleanmgr.exe" to clean up C: .
I clean up right away, as I have a backup, and have
no need of any "rollback" capability. If there's
anything wrong with it, I just restore from my backup
of C: .
