If all that sounds too complicated, the simplest way to get the Anniversary Update is to just wait – assuming you have automatic updates enabled.
If Windows doesn’t prompt you to download the update automatically, you can manually initiate the download by navigating to the OS’s Setting menu. By clicking on the update button, users can initiate the download and installation of the Anniversary Update. The good news is that you’re not really missing much. The update also includes a faster, more accessible and more power-efficient Microsoft Edge browser.

If you use assistive technology on Windows, you are eligible for the free upgrade offer.

As of last month, Microsoft’s goal was to release Windows 10 Anniversary, codenamed Redstone 1, simultaneously in its various flavors: PCs, tablets, Windows Phones, Surface Hubs, Xbox One consoles and HoloLens.
