You should also be able to use Windows 10 Update Assistant to update to the 1809 version or download update manually here, but Microsoft encourages waiting for the update to come automatically.
New in Windows 10
Cloud Clipboard
The new update retrieves a feature that allows you to save clipboard content and synchronize the contents of Windows 10 devices. For synchronization, you must enable it manually if you wish to have this.
Your phone app
The new Your Phone application is preinstalled in the new Windows 10 update and gives you access to content stored on your smartphone directly on your PC without touching the phone. At the moment, your phone app supports image and text sync.
