I wonder if it's due to my copies being OEM (albeit legit) on three of the four Pro machines.
 
However, on my DAW it's a legit MS Win 7 Pro Upgrade and it does not have the Get Win 10 app.

You might need to install the optional updates also.

I went into my update menu and it was on there. Wasn't until I clicked it that I got the icon on the tray.

As in Windows Update? It's not there for me. Are you talking Win 7 Pro? 

Try forcing it. This is how:
Open Control Panel
Open Administrative Tools
Open Task Scheduler
Expand on the left "Task Scheduler Library"
Expand Microsoft
Expand Windows
Scroll down and expand Setup
Click the folder "GWXTriggers"
On the far right, click "Run"
 
I'm on Windows 8.1 OEM but it should work the same for Win 7.

Did it. It installed more updates. Did them all including optional updates.
 
Still no Win 10 App icon.

I have another system that I just built. After doing all the Windows updates, I still had no Windows 10 icon showing up in the task bar.
 
This worked for me:

Immediately after running the script, the Get Windows 10 app icon showed up.

I'm all in for Windows 10.
I don't understand peoples hate toward Microsoft. If you should hate someone it should be google. They force their marketing through YouTube and such. Collect all user data. Ban Windows apps and make it hard for people using Windows and their stuff. And they are really pricks compared to Microsoft who is opening up now and make their programs available to all platforms.
Just remember. If there was no Microsoft we would certainly not be making music at home at all.

Because no one ever would have invented another operating system to take it's place?
 
IIRC Windows was originally based on a Xerox OS that Gates asked if he could use and Xerox said "sure".

OK, it worked on my DAW. Three other Pro machines to go. One just went into a loop.

Read history. Microsoft made the way for People to sell software. Without it we would not have had Cakewalk. We would just have super expencive systems made just for making Music. No one would invest any amount in software. Like free software. All the good ideas that newer happends because People dont get paid for writing code. And when they dont feel like it they stop.

Jarsve,
 
We will have to agree to disagree. I don't need to read about computing history. I'm 62 years old and I have been in IT since 1978. That is looooooong before Microsoft developed Windows but just about the time they got (think: stolen) DOS up and running on IBM computers.
 
Guess what? back then (1978) there were other operating systems the least of which was Unix. If you go back even further in history you will find that before regions/countries were able to communicate and near light speed very similar "inventions" took place over thousands of years. How did that happen? People thought in vaccuums. It's not far fetched to say that if Bill Gates had died in car crash at age 14 someone else would have taken his place and the name may not even be Microsoft, it might be called SpringBoardComputing for all we know.
 
Based on that knowledge and understanding of history I say Microsoft is *not* the only outcome that enables us to be able to do what we do today. We would be here no matter what. Just some names would be different.
 
JMO.
 
BTW, I don't hate Microsoft.
