How likely is it my Dell Inspiron 7558 will run Windows 10 version 1809 come October of 2018? (June 16, 2018)

Neither System Information nor Intel HD Graphics Control Panel tells me, they both just say "Intel HD Graphics". Just as expected, Windows 10 build 17134 much improves the responsiveness of the start menu and taskbar over build 16299 and I will ask whether
or not my Inspiron 7558 can run the successor to Windows 10 version 1809 come October 2018.

 

RS5 v1809 will officially be called: Windows 10 October 2018 Update

I think the decision should be from the user still.
