Yes I got a Win 10 invite! I just purchased a brand new Lenovo Thinkstation P300 about a month ago and then this week it appear on my task bar with a small popup asking if I wanted Windows 10? I said "Yes" and to comfirm it Microsoft wanted my email!

If all set you should just wait, some people report of getting invitation late. I got it on June 1.

It might be a compatibility issue. I finally got mine to pop by forcing the task method. After I reserved there was a message saying my chipset may cause issues. Otherwise, you don't have the proper updates installed or not running a legitimate copy of Windows.

Did you already do something like using the methods suggested in above posts?

Because if you for example disable windows updates you will never get it.
And if you not indicate what you did we can not advice you what to do.

Looks like you may not have the required KBs installed. Do a Windows Update, reboot, do another update check, etc until it comes up with no updates. Then run the KB check command again. Once both show up, the ReserveWin10.cmd batch file should work for you.

Vicky,

(Assuming all updates are installed and the updater is set to auto install) Try this method...

From the Control Panel click on Administrative Tools. Then click on Task Scheduler. Now, expand the Task Scheduler Library folder...expand the Microsoft folder...expand the Windows folder...scroll down to the Setup folder and expand it as well.

Now, click on the 'gwx' folder. With this folder selected you should see the Actions pane on the right hand side. Click on 'Run' under the Selected Item section.

If that doesn't activate it, try the same method on the 'GWXTriggers' folder.

This tool will take you through the necessary troubleshooting steps. I've examined the text in the batch file, and there is nothing malicious (at this moment at least) in the file. I used it on my own machine and found that I was missing a second update required.

Things to keep in mind. The app is hard coded for now not to allow domain joined computers to run the application. The program runs a windows 10 compatibility appraiser and if for some reason an item is flagged as breaking the windows 10 installation the task bar application will also not run. (Have seen this with a few mad cards)
Microsofts stance with this is to wait. More drivers are added and updated as we get closer to release and this may work by then.
Keep in mind that the only thing you are doing with the reservation is authorizing Microsoft to predownload the release version prior to launch. You will still be able to download windows 10 through windows update once release gets here if you don't use the reservation app.

Ps. The get windows x app is also located in the event viewer under (applications and services)-(Microsoft)-(Windows)-(GWX-Ins)-(Operational)
