According to Microsoft Accessibility support, it is not your option to
update when you want to, it will be available to you when it is time for you
to upgrade. There are so many people trying to upgrade right now, that the
servers are pretty well jammed packed with the requests. It depends on when
you res erved your copy, and which categotry you might happen to fall in as
to when you will receive your notification. There is also a factor of luck
in this as well. The systen picks some names at random and throws them in
the mix too. The first group who were specifically targeted to get the
update, are the people who took part in the Beta testing of the product, but
I was not told who would be next, I suppose it might be those of us who
reserved their copies. Also, the time frame for reserving a copy is not yet
over. It is not clear when it will end, but it will extend into the next
year for at least a while, and the free installations will cease on July 29,
2016. So, don't rack your brains out worrying about getting the thing until
it becomes your turn, or until someone notifies you that your copy is ready
to be installed. The purpose of entering your email address during the
reservation process was to be notified when the update was available for
installation by you. I was told that the bulk of the process should be over
within the time frame of a couple of weeks, so I suppose it could take that
long for some to get their copies installed.

Have you tried calling Microsoft accessibility support for help in updating
from Windows 7 to Windows 10? Their phone number is 1-800-936-5900. They
have been very helpful to me with problems involving Microsoft issues.

Well, I don't plan to update right now, don't want to have to reinstall
the programs I use most over again, especially those with keys that would
need to be reentered. No one to assist with this part of the process.
I am still in Windows 7 which I needed when I was working.
Works fine
for me right now, later on I may update given a good reason to do so.

My husband's computer is downloading 10, as I type this. He got

here's the article I copied and pasted it
Many of you have written concerned that you don占쎌뀽 have
that little
upgrade
icon for Windows 10 in the lower right corner of your Windows
PC.
windows-10-upgrade-symbol
So what占쎌뀼 going on? There could be several possibilities,
so let占쎌뀼 run
down the list.
It could be that your device doesn占쎌뀽 have the latest
Windows
updates. You
need to have updated to Windows 8.1 and have all current
updates. Windows
7 must have Windows 7 Service Pack 1 installed as well as the
latest
Microsoft updates.
For Windows 7 SP1:
KB3035583
KB2952664
For Windows 8.1 Update:
KB3035583
KB2976978
Try running both critical and optional updates and installing
them.
There占쎌뀼
a good chance you占쎌뀴l see the icon then.
checkforupdatescharm
You占쎌뀴l only see an upgrade option for Windows 7 Home and
Pro and
Windows 8
Home and Pro versions. If you占쎌뀻e running an Enterprise
edition,
there won占쎌뀽
be a free upgrade. Also, if you占쎌뀻e running Windows RT,
there占쎌뀼 no
upgrade.
Is your device part of a school or business network
that占쎌뀼 managed by
administrator? You占쎌뀴l have to check with the IT
administrator about
upgrades.
If Microsoft thinks your PC might not be able to run Windows 10,
you
won占쎌뀽
see the get Windows 10 app before July 29. They占쎌뀴l
enable the app after
that date.
There占쎌뀼 also a possibility that you aren占쎌뀽 running
a genuine version of
Windows. The upgrade will only apply to genuine Windows
versions.
windowsactivated
If none of the above apply to you, Microsoft does offer a fix,
but it占?
??a
complicated one that I占쎌뀵 going to copy verbatim from their
support site.
I do not suggest trying this unless you are very comfortable
with
technology and doing something like editing your registry.
1.Open Notepad
2.Copy the following text and paste it into Notepad:
REG QUERY 占쎌룱KLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\UpgradeExperienceIndicators占?
占?/v UpgEx |
findstr UpgEx
if 占쏙옙%errorlevel%占쏙옙 == 占쏙옙0占쏙옙
GOTO RunGWX

1.Click File, and then Save As
2.In the File name box, change the file name to ReserveWin10.cmd
3.Then click the dropdown next to Save as type, and select All
files
(*.*)
4.Select the folder you would like to save the file to. For
this
example,
let占쎌뀼 choose to save the file to the C:/Temp folder.
Then click Save.
5.Open an elevated command prompt. (From the Start screen or
Start menu,
type Command Prompt in the search box, and then in the list of
results,
right-click Command Prompt, and select Run as administrator.)
6.Finally, run the file from the location you saved to in Step
6. In this
example, you would type the following in the Command Prompt
window and
hit
Enter:C:/Temp/ReserveWin10.cmd
The Microsoft Compatibility Appraiser can take 10 占쏙옙 30
minutes to run,
during which the script will continuously provide status reports
that it
is running. Please be patient.
If the script is failing in an infinite loop, then you
don占쎌뀽 have the
necessary prerequisite Windows Updates.
Hopefully one of these will work for you.
