Yoga 2 Upgrade to Windows 10 - icon missing [ Edited ]

[m1979]

I have Lenovo Yoga 2 13'' laptop running Win 8.1

I had a Win 10 icon (reserver your Win 10) and.... it disappeared 4 days ago. I tried all possible scripts and tips online, here is what I've done:

All tricks from

Nothing

I read somewhere it might be because I had Win 8 and upgraded to 8.1

I do not need to reserver, want to make sure I will update when MS releases it... Any thoughts?

Any ideas?

hi m1979,

Welcome to the Forums.

Can you ensure that the KB2919355 (Windows 9.1 Update) and KB3035583  are both installed from the locations below (the latter is responsible for adding the Get Windows 10 update notification).

If doesn't work then you can opt to go back 4 or more days ago prior to the problem using System Restore and 

Control Panel (icon views) > Programs and Features > View installed updates 
Control Panel (icon views) > Windows Updates > View Update History

In addition, you don't really need to reserve and you can still get Windows 10 wihout the reservation.

 From the Windows 10 Q&A:

 

Can I get my free Windows 10 upgrade even if I didn’t reserve?

Yes. The easiest way to get the free upgrade is to reserve, but you can upgrade even if you don’t reserve.

Once Windows 10 is available, we’ll begin notifying devices that their free upgrade is available. Just open the Get Windows 10 app to schedule your upgrade. Note: Some notifications will go out as soon as Windows 10 is available; others may go out in the weeks or months following.

Yes, both updates are in place

C:\WINDOWS\system32>dism /online /get-packages | findstr KB2919355
Package Identity : Package_for_KB2919355~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~6.3.1.14

C:\WINDOWS\system32>dism /online /get-packages | findstr KB3035583
Package Identity : Package_for_KB3035583~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~6.3.1.15

I know I do not have to reserve but I will need this Windows 10 app to upgrade? I doubt it will just appear on the 29th if it is not today.

Any other thoughts please?

I know you said you tried everything in your link but just to confirm, did you try removing those updates and reinstalling them?

I had to do that with KB3035583 to get the Win 10 flag on my T420.

Ok,just fixed it using this link and downloading a cab file

I really wish on the phone I received sth more than: reset to factory defaults...Just saying... I was shocked when an engineer said he had never seen an issue with this... well...

Thanks!
