3.    Then, Windows Update and check for updates.
4.    Go through on-screen instructions and Start download, if Windows 10 October Update (1809) is     available.

After checking for updates your PC doesn’t detect any updates, there may be some possible reason for this, either you’re already on the Windows 10 October update version or the new OS is not available for your system yet. You can wait for some days until Microsoft deploy the OS for your region.
