How to display the Windows 10 upgrade icon if it is not visible:
I have seen the windows 10 upgrade notification appear on Windows 7 SP1 & 8.1 computer just fine.
Let me start out by saying this: “When the computer is joined to an active directory domain the icon will not show”. Not matter how hard you try to manually get it started by triggering the tasks or runing the GWX.EXE or GWXUX.EXE applications. It won’t work (for now?) on domain joined computers. Not even if you logoff and logon using a local administrator account.
When you remove your active Directory domain membership and put the computer in a workgroup you will see the icon after the reboot. You can then make your reservation, but I don’t think it will actually download the upgrade on July 29th if the computer is joined to the domain again, not sure about that.
If you’re a home user not connected to an active directory domain there are some things to check:
– You need to be on Windows 7 SP1 or Windows 8.1 Update1
– You need to have the KB3035583 update installed
If you still have trouble getting the icon you can try the BAT file created by a Microsoft Answers forum moderator.
