If you don’t think any of these conditions apply to you, and you’re still not seeing the icon, you can also try running the solution below, which will verify your device meets all the prerequisites and then turn on the Get Windows 10 app:

• Open Notepad
• Copy the following text and paste it into Notepad:

REG QUERY "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\UpgradeExperienceIndicators" /v UpgEx | findstr UpgEx

if "%errorlevel%" == "0" GOTO RunGWX

schtasks /run /TN "\Microsoft\Windows\Application Experience\Microsoft Compatibility Appraiser"

:CompatCheckRunning

schtasks /query /TN "\Microsoft\Windows\Application Experience\Microsoft Compatibility Appraiser"

schtasks /query /TN "\Microsoft\Windows\Application Experience\Microsoft Compatibility Appraiser" | findstr Ready

if NOT "%errorlevel%" == "0" ping localhost >nul &goto :CompatCheckRunning

The Microsoft Compatibility Appraiser can take 10 – 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’t have the necessary prerequisite Windows Updates. Besides requiring Windows 7 SP1 or Windows 8.1 Update, you must also have installed:

For Windows 7 SP1:

"findstr" command does not work correctly.

Hi guys.

I tried to use "fidnstr" command to get rid of dupilicated line as below.

--------------------------

findstr /LVG:file1 file2

--------------------------

file1 and file2 are same contents shown as below.

(Thers files have file paths.)

I did the command show above and result is as below.

-------------------------------------------------------------

C:\Users\tmp>findstr /LVG:file2.txt file1.txt

These files are completely same. ( They aren't shown a difference by fc /b command)

Why does "findstr" command show a defference (C:\SHELL\GM\CONF\Cbsysg).

OS version is as below.

Microsoft Windows 7 Professional

6.1.7601 Service Pack 1 build 7601

thanks in advance
