fall creators update Can't Update, but with Specter and Meltdown, should I?

[MohawkADE]

So for the last couple of weeks I've been unable to update Windows to build 1709 as my main drive is on MBR and there isn't an easy way to convert it to GPT without reinstalling windows (to my knowledge), so I've been putting off the major updates.

But with these recent developments about Specter and Meltdown, should I need to worry about reinstalling to get those updates or will they still roll down to older builds of Win10 (1703 for instance)?

No worries spectre and meltdown are overhyped actual performance loss is 10% at most while in most cases its not noticable so upgrade and be safe

That's the problem... I can't update.
