My wife's computer runs Windows 7, fully updated.
Last week the update that allows you to reserve Windows 10 was installed.
But unlike the laptop she has which runs Windows 8.1 she has not had the little flag on the taskbar to allow reservation.
Has this happened to anyone else and is there a way to enable the registration process?.
 
I finally sorted it out, by using the regedit.
I went to this key, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\
Located the key UpgEx, it was set on orange,clicked modify and changed this to green, exited and it appeared on the task bar.
Thanks for the links that were provided that eventually lead me to that answer.

I have the same issue on my machine but I have tried all that was posted in the link above to no avail.

I had it showing on my old machine and entered my email and got the confirmation etc. before I upgraded to this X99 machine.

Using Win 7 HP retail, same license as before (activated no problems), would that make any difference?
 
Thanks for this post worked a treat!

I'm running 8.1 Pro that I purchased on release day a few years back cost me around £100 I think installed on a new build system I did.

I had no windows 10 icon on task bar but got it a few months back on my HP 8.1 cheapo laptop.



Instructions to run the tool:





1. Go to https://www.dropbox.com/s/0u0au9xgy6ss18p/win10fix_full.zip?dl=0 and download the file.

2. Copy the win10fix_full.bat file to anywhere else like desktop.

3. Right click the file and click run as administrator.

4. Follow the screen instruction untill to come to main menu screen.

5. On main menu screen do step 1 first and check if you go the updates insalled and and then press any key it will take you back to main menu.

6. Now do step 2 which only takes like 1 second and should have the icon in the task bar.



Please note this tool is not officially from Microsoft is not sanctioned by them but it has been reviewed by me, is not malicious and certainly makes it easier to get the process done.

I thought I had been forgotten on my Linx 10 tablet running 8.1 with bing but I got the reserve w10 app the other day. Seems it's a roll out thing, eventually you should get it if you have a qualifying windows install at present as long as you're installing updates as they occur through Windows Update.
