Windows 10: Customise task bar after upgrade

Recently MS asked to update. Now have a search box in my taskbar that I prefer to not be there ( a little thing I know but still annoying).


Have tried to remove in usual way but hasn't worked.


Thanks

Windows 10 upgrade icon not appearing in Task Bar

The Windows 10 upgrade is not appearing in my Task Bar. I am running Windows 7 64 bit with SP1 and all the latest critical patches. I did have this icon but it has disappeared. If I go into customise to select which icons to appear in the Task Bar;
the Get Windows 10 GWX is listed. I have selected show icon and notifications, but the icon doesn't appear on the Task Bar? I want to use this to check that my PC can update to Windows 10. I gather as you ask to run the upgrade, you can select and option
to check whether your PC is ok to update re drivers etc. Can anyone help me to get the icon showing in the Task Bar again?
