I have a laptop with Windows 7 : Home edition, 64 bits. SP1.

The windows update were done and I upgraded to Windows 10. No problem. But I wanted to reformat my computer and though it was a possibility during the installation. It was not.

So I formatted my computer with my old version (Win 7 SP1, home edition, 64bits) with a ISO image. I reinstalled the OS, put the license key, made the Windows update ... But the "Get windows 10" icon is not displayed anymore.

I searched and found this article.

They said that 2 updates MUST be present. I got them as you can see below

C:\Windows\system32>dism /online /get-packages | findstr 3035583
Identité du package : Package_for_KB3035583~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~6.1.1.29

C:\Windows\system32>dism /online /get-packages | findstr 2952664
Identité du package : Package_for_KB2952664~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~6.1.13.2

I tried to run the script but it failed in an infinite loop ...

I also tried to delete the content of C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download and run this wuauclt.exe /updatenow and re-run the windows update. But it say that I already have all the current update.

I have reboot my computer and waited for a long time before posting this.

You don't need to wait for the icon to show up in order to do an upgrade. You can do the upgrade manually by downloading the Windows 10 Media Creation Tool.

However, you shouldn't need to upgrade at all. If you successfully upgraded to Windows 10 from your old Windows 7 install, you should be able to do a clean install because Microsoft now recognizes your computer as one that is allowed to have Windows 10. You can use the same tool linked above to make a DVD of the Windows 10 installer or put the installer on a USB flash drive. When you boot from that DVD/USB, it will give you the option to do a clean install.
