Do I have latest version and build?

I have Windows 10 Home, Version 1709, and OS Build 16299.125.

First thing is this the latest to date? Also, do you know where I can check this in the future. I googled it and found a couple of places but unfortunately they confused me. Somewhat new to Windows 10 update format.

Another question came to mind when I was struggling with updates. Lets say a PC/Laptop has not been updated for some time. If I did a Repair Install Windows 10 with an In-place Upgrade Installation Upgrade Tutorials , and used a current ISO, would that bring the OS current and bypass all the updating? I am assuming that the media creation tool would use the current version, right? Or is this wishful thinking?

As of latest build, just check Tenforums Windows 10 news. Brink is keeping this section up to date. 16299.205 is the latest build.

In-place upgrade would bring you up to the build of latest ISO. Not always up to date. There is a site (blog of MS developer) which lists all the relevant builds. Have to search for it...

Buildfeed is one of the sites for this info

Thanks AndreTen and Bree. I do have an AMD E1-2500 APU with Radeon HD Graphics 1.4GHz. Tower came with 8 so it has some age. Actually this belongs to a fellow student I am trying to help. I will get the update and install it to be safe.

The purpose of my OP was I just spent 2 days fighting the latest update. I finally persevered, although I may need psychiatric counselling. Anyway, I was trying to cheat and just do the in place install in place of a ton of updates. Students come to me since I am in Computer Support and Networking program. Sometimes they have not updated their computers for some time. But that is OK because it gives me hands.

Thanks again for your help.

MS prevented some updates for AMD system, as there was possibility of putting those systems in non-bootable state.

One thing about In-place repair, if user didn't do any updates for a long time, you could profit some downloading time with it.

Thanks LayBack Bear, Never thought of that. I like Easy.

Thanks to you topguncp, I'm going to give that a try. I may have questions about it later. I'll look you up in update forum.
