I am running Windows 7 and I want the get Windows 10 app thing.

I have tried the Reservewin10.cmd, with an error message that says access denied even if I elevated to admin.

I have also tried the Win10fix_full file, and I used all 3 methods and waited and it still doesn't work. My computer cant check for updates so I downloaded B3035583 and KB2952664 standalone and installed them.

Then I reran both scripts. The reservewin10 shows the following

Output of reservewin10

and the win10fix_full file still thinks it fixed it but it actually didn't do anything.

I have the 2 prerequisite updates installed, but as @David mentioned below, it may rely on some OTHER updates for it to work.

Error code given by windows update when I try to check for updates is 80072F76

Microsoft provided a KB article about this issue:

The "Get Windows 10" app doesn’t appear in Windows 7 or 8.1

1 possible cause is that you run a Volume License or that Windows is not genuine.

Do you have KB3035583? You can check in "View installed updates" (and search for KB3035583 in the bar at the top right) or check for it in Windows Updates. I believe it was originally an optional update, but then later changed to an important update (so it gets auto-installed).

If you have it already installed, check your "Customize Notification icons" in your systray (right click on the clock). See if you have "GWX" and if the notification was set to hidden.
