Hi, I'm looking for the specific MS KB Update that enables the 'Get Windows 10' 8.1 upgrade path.

Have a media box that's not been turned on since march and don't want to download 2Gb+ of updates, looking to get away with just the specific KB-if that's possible?

The first thing to try is make sure Windows Update is set to automatically install all updates on your PC and that your system is fully up to date. That alone might be enough to get the icon to appear. You need to have patch KB3035583 installed.

If that doesn’t do the trick, and it didn’t for me, then try running this batch script which is available on Dropbox (as reported by the always excellent Ghacks).

Run the batch file in admin mode, read the disclaimer and then hit any key. The menu presents you with five choices. Step one is check to make sure update KB3035583 is installed. If it is you can return to the main menu and choose one of three methods to get the notification to appear. There are two quick methods and a longer one. The first one worked instantly for me. I ran it and the icon appeared immediately.

As already mentioned, you need to have the Windows Update setting set so that it receives all of the recommended updates & installs them automatically. Not only that, but you also need to install all of the optional Windows Updates as well - this is what I had to do to get mine to work last night.
