Windows 10: How to get Windows 10 after July 29

I have Windows 8.1 and am not upgrading to Windows 10 for awhile to see how things go. I noticed today July 29th that the upgrade icon in my taskbar disappeared. So when I decide to upgrade will I need to go to Windows Update or Windows Store ?

:)

 

Get Windows 10 app does not appear

I don't see the Get Windows 10 app on my Windows 7 desktop machine. So I have made plans to wait after July 29.

According to Microsoft, PCs that don't see the icon before July 29, Microsoft will enable the icon after July 29. This is to check for compatibility if we choose.

So after July 29, if my Windows 7 Desktop is shown as compatible in the app, will I be able to upgrade using the Get Windows 10 app?

Thanks!

I suspect you can force the upgrade.. I used this method and had no issues:

Wow that was fast, thanks BunnyJ

 

If you have reserved your copy of W10 already, but it hasn't downloaded yet, then you can use Brink's tutorial to do the upgrade and W10 will automatically activate. https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/2...tallation.html

 

I have made downloads from:

How does it make any sense to "reserve a copy" of something that can be copied indefinitely because it's not a physical entity?
