Chances are the Win8 PC is behind on updates...

The 'Get Windows 10' app was installed as part of the recommended Windows update KB3035583.

If you don’t see the 'Get Windows 10' icon in your notification area and want to reserve your copy, all you need to do is install the KB3035583 update for Windows.

Go to 'Control Panel.' Open 'Windows Update.' Click 'Show all available updates.'

Sorry about the delay in replying ive checked all updates in control panel it says all uptodates up to date but no widows icon showing in the system tray.
I typed the number in the search box finds nothing but gives me the option to go to the windows site doesn't give me the option to download just tells me where to look in the system tray.
Thanks again for any help
