Four of four Win 7 systems updated. ALL four systems now show the "Get Win 10" icon. :-) My dad's HP Pavilion laptop had 35 Updates to do; some of them required restarting the computer. Once done, the "Get Win 10" icon came up right away on that system. I had to wait a day and a half for it to show up on Voyager. (My HP Pavilion laptop.) TL TimeLord04 Have TARDIS, will travel...

I've been following this thread off and on for a while. Was wondering if there is some other trigger for the Windows 10 offer icon to show up. I've had KB3035583 installed in both of my computers since 5/19 and still haven't seen this icon every one talks about. So what else has to happen to get it?

Do you have IE 11 installed and up to date? As I don't use it I was still on IE 9. As soon as I installed IE 11 followed by three more non critical updates I got the icon. That happened on two machines. |

Glenn, HaHa!! I can understand your sentiment! To answer the other question, yes I am up to date with Internet Explorer 11. Thought I had satisfied all the perquisites and was wondering why I hadn't been bugged yet. I was wondering what is different in my systems that I haven't been inflicted with the Windows 10 'update bug' yet. The systems get turned off every day after solar sundown and powered back up every day once I have enough power to justify the A/C to overcome the heat load they put out when running. Just wondering.

Not sure, but it may be that you have to have automatic updates on, and it attempts an automatic update, even though there isn't anything to update. ![]() |

-[ snip ]- Greetings Gary, I never have automatic updates set and I got the icon on both my PC and my laptop. Having auto updates restart my PC and leaving it sit at the login screen does not appeal to me, running BOINC and all. Besides, I don't trust Windows to properly shut down my programs, especially BOINC. :) Keep on BOINCing...! :) CAPT Siran d'Vel'nahr - L L & P _\\// Winders 11 OS? "What a piece of junk!" - L.

To those of you that missed what I said about not getting the icon and the 'Win 10 update bug'. M$S has opted to sending the invitations out in batches, not all at once; which is why some haven't gotten their invitations yet. Don't worry, be happy. It doesn't matter whether you have auto update on or not, as long as you are current including KB3035583. For my machine (Win7 x64 Ultimate), all of the updates are installed except 2 optional that deals with 8.1, and the 34 language packs. When it's your time you will get it. I have my update app set to 'NEVER' and manually check it every so often. I always check to see what the 'RECOMMEMDED & OPTIONAL' updates are before selecting/applying them or hiding them if I don't want them. I do notice that recommended/optional updates will appear at any time from one month to another along with the very rare out of frame required update, which is why I check every now and then and if I want to install them I will. It was during my check on 17 May that I installed the invitation, which was listed as recommended btw, after highlighting the update and pressing 'MORE INFORMATION' to get some idea of what the update was about. ![]() ![]() I don't buy computers, I build them!! |

Greetings everyone, I gotta question: Can anyone running an AMD based PC/laptop tell me if you have gotten the 'Get Windows 10' icon? We have a laptop here running with an AMD processor and it just refuses to come up with the icon on the notification tray. My Pentium Duo Core got it last week and my laptop is many years older. Oh, and yes, update KB3035583 is installed on the AMD laptop. :) Any info would be greatly appreciated. :) Keep on BOINCing...! :) CAPT Siran d'Vel'nahr - L L & P _\\// Winders 11 OS?

Everybody who doesn't see the upgrade icon yet but wants to have it can try to run this batch file: https://www.dropbox.com/s/0u0au9xgy6ss18p/win10fix_full.zip?dl=0 It's from the german Microsoft Support Forum and should be clean, but as usually: Use at your own risk! ![]() |

Greetings everyone, Greetings Chrome, Thanks for the info. I really didn't think that AMD users were going to be left out in the cold. ;) Thanks again! :) Keep on BOINCing...! :) CAPT Siran d'Vel'nahr - L L & P _\\// Winders 11 OS?

@ Chromespringer, Yes, Voyager, (my HP Pavilion laptop), has a Turion X2 dual core processor. I bought it in 2010, it came with Vista SP-2. I upgraded it to Win 7 Home Premium; and, now, I'm getting it ready to upgrade to Win 10. A day and a half after installing KB3035583, Voyager now displays the "Get Win 10" icon.

If you are a registered Insider and run the current build 10130 with your MS-account, you should get the final version for free even without running W7 or 8.1. At least that's what many german tech sites claim since yesterday. Could be interresting for ppl that still run XP. ![]() |

I am running Windows 8.1 on a HP minitower. I got the message that I have been reserved for Windows 10 upgrade. What I use Windows for is to run a VirtualBox platform for my CERN programs, written in Scientific Linux. Tullio |
